No front plate ticket
So it looks like El Segundo PD got me while I was parked and eating lunch at PF Chang's.
Ticket says: Due now $38.00 WITH PROOF OF CORRECTION $10.00 --- I'm assuming this means that if I correct it, I can show them and pay $10, or I can just send them $38 and keep driving without a plate? |

I have been driving without a front plate since January. I still have yet to get pulled over for it. Knock on wood! We should do a poll and see who's gone the longest without getting pulled over.

I used to never get these. But when I wrapped my car matte flashy blue, I was getting pulled over weekly (1 ticket out of 3 pull overs). I finally caved in and just put on my front plate. My opinion is that if your car isn't flashy or loud, just pay the ticket and don't put the front plate on. The M3 looks so much better without the front plate.

It's worth the extra $28 to not have to go to court or the PD or anything. Ya, I'm mostly stock and nothing too obvious - led angel eyes, painted reflectors, and m3 perf exhaust. They got my with my car parked in a parking lot. |

If there's a mail in option, I'd send a photo with it on using double sided sticky tape, so I could remove it. Enclose the $10 check + photo.

Otherwise, it appears that I can just pay the ticket via credit card over the web. |

I put my front plate in the windshield when I park and they let me slide.
As for the $10 vs $38. If you put the plate on and go to the station and show them, they will stamp the ticket and then you owe $10. Otherwise, just pay $38. Where was the car parked? If you park in a private lot, then you shouldn't get a ticket. City lot or on the street they'll get you.

That's nothing, I'd just pay it. The $28 isn't worth the hassle.
The ONLY thing I regret about moving to OR from SC is the front plate law here. I sucked it up and am using a Skene mount...it's a sin though. |
