> Illegal in NJ? Yes. Do I care? No. > I am willing to pay a $30 fine (if a cop ACTUALLY did pull me over for that) Not so fast... When I was living in NJ, the front plate on my "other" car fell off, and I was driving home to fix it, as well as the emergency brake cable, so it would pass inspection. I had the new brake cable in my car, and was driving to my parent's place to do the repairs and get inspected THAT DAY. A cop pulled me over for no front plate and then found out I was also out of inspection. After it was all said and done, I had a $195 ticket in front of me for just those two infractions. Good thing I wasn't speeding. So don't think it's going to be such a small fine in NJ. -Hank #1619
