Will this get me a ticket?

chrisinhouston · 02-07-2014, 08:49 AM

I found this nifty mock license plate on my trip to Istanbul and mounted it on my LR just under the regular license plate. I checked the DPS website which mostly states that both a front and rear plate are required and that no part of the plate may be covered up, a law passed a few years ago to stop people putting a lens or filter over the plate to keep traffic cameras from getting a good image of the plate.

My wife says I will probably get at a ticket or at least stopped and hassled by a cop but I plan to argue my case if I do. To me it isn't any different from people who have their regular plate and then one for their favorite college.

I like it.

I wouldn't give you a ticket.

Your required plate is displayed properly, you're legal.

A quibble: legal and won't get hassled or ticketed are not mutually exclusive.

@chrisinhouston

They didn't have one that said terrorist?

Istanbul, not Constantinople, now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople.... Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks.
