I recieved a ticket today of 110 for not having my front plate on, is this something that will affect my insurance, like a speeding ticket would? or do these things not go on your record?

It's not a permanent thing, no. No worries on the insurance. Pay the fine, that's it amigo. I got pulled over for no front plate before, twice. No tickets though, only because i had the plate in my window. As long as the front plate is visible, it doesn't have to be "on" you're car. By on i mean, bolted on. How come you're ridin with 1 plate dawgg?

actually you can get a ticket for not having your lisence plate not ON your car, the window isn't enough, seems like u got a nice cop those times u got pulled over.

and don't just pay it go to first attendance and then go to court, that way you have a chance of it getting reduced, and mabye dropped if the cop doesn't show up, unless you have $110 to burn but even then i don't see the point of giving the gov't more of your hard earned money...

your wrong.... I got numerous tickets for this and I faught them all. The only one I ended up paying was in elmvale because the judge was an old bag that doesn't like teenagers. Plus the cop liked to make sure he added that the plate was on the dash which could have caused it to become a projectile if the car was to get into an accident and chop off my passengers neck.


I ended paying $75 for that one.


All the others got thrown out cuz I put up a petty excuse that it fell off on the highway 5mins before I got the ticket.

believe it or not i got 3 tickets in a week for having my front plate in the window...i went for first attendance for all of them and ended up paying like $70 combined for all 3...

one time before that tho i had my front plate in the window and my rear plate was covered by my countries flag...(we were celebrating after yugoslavia won the world basketball championships)...i got pulled over and got 2 tickets for not having my front and back plates properly displayed haha...again i fought them like everything else...im a pro by now!

I apologize for being "wrong" I live in downtown Toronto, and i have learned that the cops are alot more lenient when they choose to be. Anyhow, i suppose both of those cops lied to me.. and they don't know the law? Both said that the law states that you must have 2 showing plates. 1 for the front & 1 for the back. Nowhere in that law, does it state that you're plate must be bolted on. Please, don't shoot the messenger, i'm just relayin information that i recieved after being pulled over for the cause. To the original poster, i agree with the others on fighting it, unless of course money ain't a thang. In the case of being poor, like me, go in there and fight for you're life. Cheat, lie, kill, pillage, do it all.

never have the plate in the window, ur better off not having it at all...if u have it in the window its like u know its wrong but u wanna make it "right" and when u have no front plate at all the car looks like an american car and u dont generally get hassled...but its all about the lost plate excuse, "fell off and I'm waiting for my replacement"

An excuse that works sometimes is the one about the car wash. My step dad had it actually happen and cops let him off 2 out of 3 times but the third time was the same cop from another time. DOH!!!

really for $110 ticket plus all the hassle, why not just do as the law says? esp on a Civic, whch already has bolts moulded in anyways so it's not like you're getting some super clean look by not having a plate. more and more I see other cars without front plates.... Explorers, Cavaliers, Neons, etc... IMO it's ghay. It's like shoulder/seatbelt pads used to be 'cool' in the mid 90s.

4 years no front plate... never been pulled over or harrased 4 it...
n e car i've ever had i never put the plate on and never got hasseled for it...

imported_redeYelove

At the time, i was driving a 93 Sentra. The reasoning behind me not havin a plate in the front was because i had just gotten then car, and the whole area for the plate was mashed up. Missing screws, a lil bent, you know how it is. I got it fixed as soon as i had the chance, but both of those pull overs were within 3 days. Other then that, the plate doesn't bother me one bit up there, and it would have been on otherwise.
