Is it illegal to not have a front License Plate in california?
|
My dad has a 2006 Honda Civic Si. He recently installed a expensive body kit. He hates it that he has to drill holes in the new body kit in the front bumper. Can the car be driven without a front license plate? Or can you put it in the front windshield of the driver's side?

you can do anything you want with your license plate, but if some cop is looking for an excuse to stop you, a improperly displayed plate (like one in a windshield) will get your dad in a jam. Yes you need a front plate in CA and it needs to be displayed in the proper position, My Friend got a wild hair one day, did some research and in the course of his research found out there was no law against an upside down license plate. So in protest he put it on, upside down, and promptly received an 80 dollar ticket for improperly displayed license plate (there is a law against THAT) Im with your dad, but not the cops, so better to not stand out on the freeway, blend in and go with the flow. |

Yes he needs a front plate on the bumper to be legal. Why give cops another excuse to stop you? |

He can use my residence here in Kansas. We only have a rear plate. So he would still be legal in californicate. |
