Came closest I've ever been to getting a ticket today. I accelerated after a speed bump in my school's parking lot a bit hard and my rear tires squealed, so the guy that works as campus security came over on his golf cart and honked his horn at me after I dropped my friend off at her car. I considered just leaving (he's on a golfcart, what kind of chase would that be?) but I didn't want to risk him recognizing my car later so I stopped. He asked for my license and I asked why, and he said he could write me a ticket if I don't cooperate. I replied that he did not have a speed reading of my car and his ticket would sink in court, and that if he wanted to write me a ticket and spend his time at the county courthouse he was welcome to. He told me that if he saw or heard it again he'd write me a ticket and spend as much time as he needed to making sure it goes through.

He's just jelly you have over 30x more horsepower than his cart.

Yep. I like pressing it anyway. If I could go back, this is pretty much what I would have said:

Oh, you'll write me a ticket? Where's your evidence I was speeding? Do you have a radar reading? It's not a crime for tires to chirp, but if you'd like to spend your weekend at the county courthouse prosecuting against my lawyer, you're welcome to. This is America, not Mexico (he's mexican). Here the burden of proof lies on the prosecutor, not the defendant, and you have none. You can write that ticket without my name, too, 'cause I'm not giving you my ID either.

If I'd gotten that masterpiece out of my mouth on the spot I would have been having a party in my car on my drive home regardless of if I got a ticket or not. Also, he's not a cop, so I have no obligation to show him my ID.

so in Virginia if your car is a classic and doesn't come stock with front plate holders you don't need front plates

brb drilling out the rivets that hold the front plate on on my alfa because it is loving ugly with it on

§ 46.2-730. License plates for antique motor vehicles and antique trailers; fee.
...
C. Notwithstanding the provisions of §§ 46.2-711 and 46.2-715, antique motor vehicles may display single license plates if the original manufacturer's design of the antique motor vehicles allows for the use of only single license plates or if the license plate was originally issued in one of the following years and is displayed in accordance with the provisions of subsection B of this section: 1906, 1907, 1908, 1909, 1945, or 1946. ...

I didn't even know you needed front plates anywhere in the us

The majority of states require you to have plates on the front and rear. The southern states have a boner for only having rear plates and it's a topic that really pushes their buttons.

My stance is that front and back plates are a good thing. I've had to report a hit and run collision where I only saw the front license plate of the vehicle.
