It finally happened. I got pulled over for not having a front plate installed on my Boxster. Here in Maryland, we're required to have both front and rear plates. When I purchased the car, I told them not to install the front plate, as I didn't want those holes drilled into the front fascia. It's just such a detraction aesthetically. I was pulling into our town and came up behind an unmarked state trooper car. I recognized it as such. He turned right at the intersection, the same direction I had to go and he immediately pulled over and waited for me to pass. I knew right away what he was doing, as we only are about 3 miles from WV where front plates are not required and he wanted to verify I was running a Maryland plate. I go by and the lights immediately come on so of course I pull over. He was pleasant enough, asked for license and registration, said he had stopped me for not having a front plate. Comes back and hands me a warning. That was it, he didn't say a single word other than "Here's a warning".
I have a license plate bracket that I ordered (the brand of which I can't remember at the moment) that installs by drilling the holes under the facia, but damn, I really don't want to have to install it. I'm sure if I get pulled over again, I'll certainly get a ticket. If it's comes with no points, I'm almost tempted to just take my chance and pay the fine.
What to do....
Anyway, that was my adventure for the day.
