So I got a no front plate ticket tonight. The guy was nice enough to not give me an expired inspection ticket (expired in October, I’m currently trying to fix the problem and luckily had all my receipts with me to prove that I am indeed working on it. I also had my OBDII scanner hooked up cause I was driving around after changing a sensor). Anyone have any idea what the ticket entails? Is it a fix-it ticket? Or is actually considered a moving violation? Approx. cost? I told the cop straight up I don’t like the look of it on the front of my car…and he agreed (he was probably 27 or 28) but said he’d have to ticket me anyway but would let the inspection slide. Nice guy over all. ---

> [@Mk4 30R](#): > > put it on, pay the fine. Well since I demodded, yes I’ll put it (I forgot about it cause I’m so used to not having it). But I’m asking about the ticket. I ASSUME it’s a fix-it (pay the fine, done) type ticket. No points or anything correct? ---

I used the just bought it and nowhere to put one excuse the ONE time i got yanked for speeding… I only got stopped once for this before (6 months ago - didn’t have it on for a total of like 1.5 years) and told the cop my bracket that holds it broke and I have one on order.
