Hey guys,

My parents are from portugal and they always spend a few months here and there....well for my 21st my mom got me a portuguese plate that has my name on it. Could I mount this on the front of my car in NY if i put my NY plate somewhere else?? Does anyone know what the law says about this....


thanks for your help guys! I will post some pics of the new plate once i fix my camera....

I know some states don't require a front plate, I'm not sure if NY is one of those states. If it is, you'll get a ticket for not having your plate mounted on the front bumper.

30$ for not having front license in IL

illegal in both nj and ny. but I have been running without a front plate for the last year without a ticket. helps to be near the pa border and going to school in upper ny state I don't think the cops knew nj required a front plate

i saw a car here in NJ wit a front euro plate but it had the NJ plate right below it. if u live in NJ go here..... http://www.petitiononline.com/njplate/

Illgeal in MD.. dont know the fine.. but i ran for 1 year in my bimmer and 2 in my celi before i got pulled twice in one week. I keep it on now, just told them it kept falling off and kept it with me..

only need rear in atlanta thank god i hate that front back plate ****.

everything is illegal in NY now >>

$55 fine here in NJ for no front plate..i got slapped with 1 of these...lol

i live in charlotte now but okay...let me answer you...im from queens, and i will tell you now its illegal, if the cop wants to be an ass...you get a ticket...but what u can do is put both of them up there (one on top of the other sharing 2 screws.) i have also seen people put their ny tags in the front or rear windshield VISIBLY..but i would be careful...

Right at this moment it's really not a good time to not have a front plate M.I.A
Most of NYC cops are being bunch of A-hole giving out tickets for covering Empire state sign on the plate (Got 1), having dark tints & yes they do measure what percentage your tints are (Got 1), & yes I got 1 from missing front plate for my M3 (Almost had 2 but the 2nd officer was nice) If you are planning on putting on your mom's gift the best idea would be putting it under your front plate. >> >>

Here in Nebraska you have to have it on your front bumper if its in your front windsheild, ticket. (got 1) They measure your tint (got 1) but the only cops that measure tint here are State Troopers. but ya wish didn't have to have a front plate you get pulled over from behind not in front of you. its stupid i think.

i didnt know nebraska had to have plates on the front...its pretty rural out ther isnt it? i thought only highly populated states would require front plates (so cops can see coming from the opposite direction)
