Re: Forced to put on a front plate
YOU Won't believe this!!! First off, in Texas they can't pull you over for just a missing front plate, they have to have another reason. Well today I gave them a reason. I wasn't paying attention and got caught doing 45 in a 20 mph school zone (no children present but a timed school zone). The cop almost forgot why he pulled me over when he saw I had no inspection sticker, no registration sticker and no front plate. All Of a sudden I realized I forgot to change the back plate, You see I was at a car show on Saturday night and I let a friend put a spare Texas plate on my car. He said you can't show a car with a paper temporary plate, so I put it on thinking I would change it back before leaving the show. Well I forgot! I thought I was gong to jail for the bogus plate! After about 15 minutes the cop came back and only gave me a warning! I had done so many other things wrong the front plate wasn't even an issue. I hope the state hurries up and sends me the permanent plate.
