Looking thru the SUNI pics posted here it looks as though maybe 50% have no front license plate. In Calif. we are now required to display a front plate as well as a rear plate. The law used to read that only vehicles that were manufactured with means to provide a front plate were required to have one installed.
The Tiger has plate mounting holes in the front but these are for the longer European style plates. The plates in the states are shorter and for some reason I've never quite been able to figure out how to attach a plate in the provided mounting location.
The other day I created the opportunity to have one of my home town officers chat with me for a few minutes. I was informed that we now have two police vehicles in town that are equipt with front and rear license plate reading cameras capable of reading 100 plates a second coming or going. Any vehicles reported as stolen or with other violations are instantly displayed to the officers in these camera equipt patrol cars.
Of course our little chat gave the officer and myself a chance to get aquainted and just for him to show his concern about the possiblity of my rare and sometimes much sought after vehicle to be stolen. We also discussed that red light cameras also require a front plate for my safety.
I prefer to drive front-less as well as topless but I'm not sure how many times one can go to the CHP with the same fix-it ticket before they begin to issue stiffer corrections or fines.
I was just wondering what the other 50% out there might have to say.
