Points for no front plate
Before my new car arrived, I asked the dealer not to mount the front license plate holder. I haven't had a front plate for 20 years.
My salesperson told me that either now or soon, you could get points for not having a front plate. I searched google but can't find any reference to this. Is my sales guy smoking crack?

If the cop is a dick and you have had fix its for your plate in the past, they can give you the citation 24004 which is a point on your record... Don't think they would ever get a way with it for a front plate, but it is possible. D |

K. Why dont you read a story before you discount it. Not fixing your front plate or getting pulled over by the same cop for it multiple times can turn into a 24004 and is a point on your record.
I just went through this and know that it is a point. It is possible but will probably never happen. D |

How often do we get pulled over by the same cop.... Plus, OP didn't ask about multiple occurrences. and if a cop pulls you over JUST for no front plates... then he is really a prick and you must have some serious bad luck...

Mine wasn't actually the same cop, she just looked up my previous tickets before she got out of her car. She even made all the fix-its NON-Correctable.... Doh
But yea, first time it will just be a 20$ fix it. And probably every time after that too, but it can happen. Cops can ticket you for whatever they want, and then you have to decide if you take the risk of fighting it. D |

Most people including some CHP and Police friends of mine do not think that would be a point, but it is. Had my insurance check with their DMV code books. Otherwise I never would have fought it. Anyway, all I can do is talk about my specific experience. No need to flame me for it. Thanks, D |

it's just that your case is special and you had multiple instances where for the purpose of this thread, it was more for common encounters and whatnot
