Subject: Stopped again! No front plate.

Gang,



Got stopped again today (second time in a year) for not having a front 

number plate.



Pulled out my twisted and battered plate from under the driving seat and 

said "Sorry officer it fell off and I'm waiting for the brackets". Works 

every time, He just told me to get it fixed.



If I ever actually get fined (max 140USD), then I might consider puting it 

back on.



Actually it did fall off last year and the post office sent it back to me. 

So it looks authentic and I am telling the truth.



The way I see it, I know the penalties and I'm prepared to take the 

punishment if it ever comes my way. The car looks so much better WITHOUT a 

plate, that I feel it's worth the risk.



Thought this might help some people.



Cheers

Charles Lynch
