So all the car dealers will have to stop using the clear pouch’s ?
This “law” came into effect during Photo radar. Giving a fine to someone for a clear cover is just a money grab now as My wife had this happen to her. Was pulled over and they claimed she was speeding. She said she wasnt and was probably going to dispute. Officer said Oh, if thats the case Ill give you something else to dispute and re-wrote the ticket including the fine for this.
personal plates are for people with mental problems, as for the covers, its just cheezy
I drove for three years with Ford Motorsport instead of a front plate. I finally got a ticket for it, told the officer even with the ticket it was cheaper than a vanity plate. Three years? He was shocked, I replied, it takes a special kind of guy to do a U turn just to give me one. He didn’t like that.
