No Front Liscence Plate Petition

Hey yall. I don't know how many of yall care, but I would really like to get as many signatures for this as possible. This is a petition that will be sent to the state legislature asking them to repeal the recent front liscence plate law. Please take the time to read it and fill it out and email it to as many people as you know. The only thing you will receive is a confirmation email saying that you signed it and what number you were. Thanks a bunch yall.

Hey BB is the link supposed to take you somewhere? It didn't ask me to click to add my name or anything. Just a white page.

I don't like this law either.

Just out of curiosity, what do you have against license plates?

Ok. The link works sort of. When you click on, go to the web address and delete the lsat bit up to where it says .html and then try it.

Hoss, I don't like the way they look on sports car (vette's, mustangs, camaro's, ferrari's), it detracts and reduces the value of classic sports car because you have to drill a hole in the car that wasn't supposed to be there. I also believe that the cops can find something better to do than pull someone over for not having a front liscence plate. I know it's kind of trivial, minor things, but it's something kind of important to me.

I think the website is down. I wish NY would do the same thing and get rid of it.

See the <br%20/> at the end? That needs to be deleted. The final address should look like this: http://www.petitiononline.com/txplate/petition.html

I don't like having the front license plate just b/c of looks.

if you're lucky enough to get caught by a red light camera here and don't have a front license plate they add another $300 on top of the $300 fine. Welcome to Kalifornia as the governator says.

I swear NY keeps it so they have something to bounce their radar off of when they are trying to catch speeders. Especially nowadays where cars are all curved and fiberglass.

They do use it to bounce radar off of. They especially hate corvettes because there really is no reflective, flat surface to bounce a beam off of.

Nor does FL, GA, IN or NM.
In IL we used to split the plates btwn vehicles. Never got caught.
When NM dropped the front plates, they saved themselves a cool million bucks a year.

Ammm..... the engine? C'mon... do you really think that fiberglass deflects the signal away? If that were the case, Stealth aircraft would be so much cheaper!
