Re: Another front license plate solution
Months ago I looked at several of the "flip license plate" holders which work differently according to manufacturers:
-manual type, that slide in a track, and then flip-up vertically
-motorized type, that does the above (via key fob or ignition switch)
-manual type that "swivel" via a hinge arrangement
-and a magnet/quick disconnect holder that sets kinda offset from mid-center of bumper
In the end I never follow through, but in hindsight maybe getting pulled over for a ticket, and then
having a front plate "appear magically" would only cause more problems/concerns with law enforcement
(which reminds me of a nearby vicinity where the following tickets are issued 8 times the national norm);
-Obstruction of rear view mirror (hanging dice/air freshener)
-Tail light bulbs brighter on one side/illegal aftermarket taillights or Turn signal blinking too fast
-Non-standard lighting (headlights or neon lights) or improper illuminated license plate
-License plate too big (obscuring writing on plate)
-Improper modification of vehicle ground clearance (bumper height too low, or too high)
-Improper frame and suspension modification (tow bar brackets)
-Speeding (post sign covered by overgrown bushes/trees)
-No right on red at midnight or California stop observed
-Red light vs yellow caution (or traffic cams)
-Seat belt violation or improper harnesses
-Improper lane change or improper signaling lane change (too abrupt, or too long)
-Improper Tinted windows
-Improper start from a stopped position
-Tailgating, or going too slow in traffic
-Crossing a yellow line (after passing a car)
-Not cleaning the snow off all the windows properly
-Illegal exhaust
-Poorly loaded truck, truck bed or unsafe vehicle condition (or having hatch open)
-Larry (and Claire) Brown
