For those that do. I've heard people say "I don't get stopped." I find that hard to believe.

Bayonne NJ will pull you for that pretty much on sight.

And Bayonne is a city... plenty of small towns (STAY OUT OF BOROS! OH NO) that pretty much just wait for things like that (Englishtown, ahem. Englishtown... all 5 cops in Englishtown... I think the Judge is their grandfather...)

Just wondering. Who really does?

I'm not a fan of getting stopped, so.. I just made my plate really cool and have both on. As per NJ Motor Vehicle code...

Most people have 2 plates. Its like driving around with a headlight out, you're low hanging fruit in terms of being pulled over so the police can make their quota.

Back in the '70s, when I still lived in Bayonne, one of my neighbors owned a beautiful '56 T-Bird. He had a NJ plate on the back, and a Nevada plate on the front. He was apparently never stopped, because he was still showing two dissimilar plates on his car as late as the '90s. Why he had plates from two different states on his T-Bird, I do not know.

There’s a forum member here who I remember saying he asked the dealership not to drill holes on the front of his car and just drove around with the one plate in the back, an apparently had never been pulled over for it. I’m sure there are other car people out there who do the same. I wouldn’t personally risk it because having 2 plates doesn’t really bother me

If I had a classic, or exotic car I wouldn't put a front plate on the car. There's been a couple state bill proposals to remove requirements of front plates over the last year or two, I'm guessing they just stalled out. Many states seem to be moving to one plate requirements.

While charging on a recent road trip I saw a Tesla from California with a magnetic front plate. I don't mean a magnetic mount either, an actual magnet plate, like a giant floppy magnet.

A few years ago I worked with CA on a consulting project to implement AB1614/4853cvc, which approved sticker license plates. Interesting project. In theory, a nice alternative to those not wanting to drill holes, but the adhesive backing is a paint destroyer, so its not a true replacement for collector cars, etc.

California is a two-plate state. I had only a rear plate the entire 12 years I owned my truck, and I never got stopped. Small towns may want the revenue, but it was just not enforced in the cities where I lived. If I had been stopped for speeding or something, they might have added a fix it ticket for the front plate as well, but I never got stopped by police just for no front plate. Not in California.
