What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

The 'poke' in the front with those 9" wide Braids is not half as bad as I thought it would be on the stock fenders.

Spent a few hours driving it in the mtns. Everything clears but I ordered some adjustable LCAs. Haven’t found a setup that gets the caster I am looking for yet.

How do you get away with not having you front licence plate showing, especially here in Kalifornia?

 

[Stubborn Approach]

None of my vehicles for my entire life have ever had a front plate. Justify that however you see fit.

idk how do people drive with random color headlights and never get pulled over? Or those blatantly illegal fog lights? lol it's not a crime if the law isn't enforced.

at least in oregon, i think a few other states did this too, cops can't fish for shit during traffic stops anymore. It was deemed unreasonable searching. This kind of kills the incentive to do traffic stops for most PDs.

If mine wasn't already drilled & riveted, I wouldn't run one either. Just doesn't proportion right on the front bumper.
Might look at removing it eventually, and maybe remount in a better position.

Just surprised, that's all. The Sheriff's Dept and CHP must not be enfor

You're not obliged to answer any questions cops might ask you during a traffic stop.

Drilled mine before I could reach out to them to tell'em not to. Immediately removed the plate and left the empty placard. There are plugs available but the holes are small enough to be ignored anyway so I pulled the placard and left them; no regrets.

In reference to the front license plates laws, there was literally nothing to gain by having front license plate laws. It was just another tool for selective enforcement.and if they want to nitpick, there are already 99 other things to nitpick over. If all they did was harass people for no front plate here, they wouldn't have time to do anything else. Got cited three times in one year for no plate; do you think I added one? Nope. Get used to it. Less than half of the vehicles passing me on such stops had a front plate. The dumb law was eventually replaced with one targeting aftermarket lighting, such as LED and HID in reflector housings. At least that one can make sense and haven't heard anything thus far about it being abused.

I'm not going to risk it and lose my CCW. You even have to report a traffic ticket and that may go against your renewal.
