Legality of operating without a front number plate

[Bryn]

You say print a sign with my plate? And stick that? Where? The back already has one.

Its my front one only though, and the car isnt new......

Only thing im thinking now is remove the plate and leave it on the dashboard.....

But how legal is that? Sure scumral wont like it but sacrifice must be made.....

Strictly speaking, your reason for not having a plate is inadequate. The vehicle shouldn't be in use while the front bumper can't have anything attached to it. If you get pulled over, all you can do is let Jesus take over.

I'm just saying Jesus can't help if you don't even have something that looks legit displayed on the dash.

Question though, as i cant put it left or right,

What if i leave it on the dashboard?

You should be able to do that temporarily. I've seen a few cars do so...

I removed my bumper once for some reason and I printed a copy of my numberplate and drove it like that for a day or so but never went past cops. The plate itself was held to the car using double sided tape and the lettering got a bit damaged (blue part was sticking and made a bubble - plastic plate) when I was trying to remove it so I left it.

Interestingly enough, that day I found my radiator was hanging on one side...

Thats what i thought,
Asking for trouble without a front number plate, guess ill have to look elsewhere.....

Just warning... Don't respray a bumper unless it actually needs it. Some will see this as a sign of a major accident

Me as well, in my case its plastic and got some marks on it, as well as a deep scratch underneath next to the foglamps.....

And one of the mounting clips broken on the side.....

When trading in they've always tried to screw me as soon as they noticed a slight respray...

You are really overthinking this.

Put your plate in the window and get the job done quickly.

Cops won't even stop you of they see the bumper is off...because logic

If they do, most explain it.

I've driven for weeks without a bumper or any front plate before.

Learn the difference between can and may.

You can do what whatever you want.

You may not necessarily so the same.

Either way it's really a non-issue. He isn't permanently driving without his plate and has a valid enough reason for a temporary lack there of.

Especially displaying it in the windows shows that he isn't trying to dodge any speeding fines or tolls which is the only reason it's there.
