License....

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

Hey, i was just wondering, here in sunny Brisbane, do u need (by law) to have a license plate on the front of your car? A few people have told me now, but i was just thinking, a few of u guys have really good front bumpers, and well do we need em?>

I hope your not serious.........................................................................

well yes i am, some other guys i met with r33, had no front plates as it didnt have anywhere to fit on there aftermarket front. they said that they werent required by law to have them on the front, but the rear is a must....

i know it sounds stupid, but is it true or not..

[Coupe-This]

I have heard this also, i do not know how much truth there is to it, but one of my reloes had a mx5 with no front plates, and i was like wtf, and they insisted they didnt come out with them because there was no where to put them, i was just like, yes ok...

Im sure you can get away with it, but you can also get fined on it. Ring up ur local tmu a few times, and i betya u get a few different answers regarding to it

just put it on, what harm is it doing?

[dezz]

put it on, but put it off to the side like on VL's....thats "hektic"

lol

[thommo]

yes, you have to put it on. if you're unsure, you could probably find a definate answer by contacting the local traffic authority

[WazR32GTSt]

YES PUT IT ON!

geez... why would they even have them if they weren't needed?

[midnight]

in NSW for cars like mx5s you can get a special sticker number plate from the RTA..

The web is a great resource.

search the QLD traffic authority website for a more definitive answer than hear say on a forum.

[krush]

the speeding fine i got recently was taken from the front. i guess if i followed this new law that a front plate isnt needed, i wouldnt have got the fine in the mail

[chaos]

dude, you asked this question before in the QLD section, so why post again here? you do need them, i seen a yellow 34 with no front plates, cops made him screw it on, he didnt have holes for it and they made him screw through his bar to fit it.

[**JaR**]

why do you think they make plates? to leave them on you coffee table at home.....

sheesh, get a slim line plate if you think a normal one will ruin the look of your front bar

[Col-GTSX]

You rnumber plate is to be fitted to the centre of your front bar.... Fitting to the side is as illegal as not having one at all...

It must be perfectlly visable from a 60 degree angle at 20 metres...

I did my research the other day...

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

thsanks for the responses guys

[zaffa]

yeah unless it comes without a number plate on the front stock like some porsches u are not required to have it...ie a manufacturers specification so in your case u are required to have it...

[R33S2]

Alot of servos wont let you fillup without it.

Last time i checked the front numberplate could be mounted on the side but must still conform with the angle and distance rule thingo.

When did you check?

I never had a problem with it being on the side

As long as it is viewable as above standards you will not be booked. But you can never tell if the officer that pulled u up is in a good mood or not...

I have never had a problem with mine being side mounted either. But a friend of mine had her plate zip tied to her front mesh, and when she drove it folded up so you couldnt see it, and she got pulled over, and told to fix it or cop a defect. I think it depends on the officer you get too, but if they are in a bad mood they will do you for anything.

I got done without mine on, got a $50 fine, no points.
