I believe 11 other states don't require front plates, I'm pretty sure we'll be fine with no front plates lol.

Still waiting for updates on plates. Secretary of state hates (dunno why cuz no reason to) and cops hate it cuz they claim they use it to make sure they know which car to go after (hard to do that with cars goin 65-80 on highway

I've lived both in states that require 2 plates and those that only require a rear plate. And have been a part of the law enforcement community myself. Main reason some states are for 2 plates is that if an officer is ahead of a vehicle in traffic they need to bring their attention to, it is much easier for them to identify the vehicle if it has a front license plate.

Exactly plus chicago is a bust. What makes you think a city with the highest taxes in the country will get rid of front plates? Front plates give them money. Chicago politicians are a bunch of crooks.

Haha true that but let me clear up what I was explaining. Chicago is a city who has enough ***** to charge their citizens with the highest tax in the nation. This means they are money hungry. You dont just get a front plate for free, it still comes out of the owner's pocket. People get into accidents, not only are they paying for a new bumper but they are paying for a new plate. This is how Chicago earns their lunch money, simple as that.

I don't know if you realize this, but you buy your plates from Illinois, not Chicago...

Renewals went up to $100

anyway, got a $20 nuisance ticket the other day for no front plate. Good thing he was a 'nice guy' because I didn't have a current insurance card for the XA on me & let me go on that one...Lucky me!

And where does Chicago get its loans and investments? Illinois government. So all the money gathered from the plates in return supports Chicago's building plans, etc.
