Yes but I refuse to run it when it looks awful, around here about 20-25% of the cars you see on the road have no plate. I've been pulled over twice in my life and I'm 44, never gotten a ticket. I keep the front plate in the car, used to throw it under the front seat, if I was getting pulled over I discretely pulled it out and tossed in the back seat. Wen the cop mentions the plate I apologize and tell him/her about how it was ripped off at the local car wash and I am waiting for the new bracket from the dealer. Works EVERY time lol
