Moving to Maryland. How strict are they on front plate? It appears in the code that a window mount would suffice.

Iāve been driving without one since moving here over two years ago. I have only gotten a warning for it when I was pulled over for speeding and that was two years ago. All the sports cars in my building donāt have front plates even in window. I would say not the strictest. Plates in the window should be fine I would thinkMoving to Maryland.

Great. Been in Virginia 16 years and no problem. Itās usually if something else triggers police.Iāve been driving without one since moving here over two years ago.

Yes. A couple tickets in other cars, but never in stang.As always it depends! I run 3 vehicles without front plates. On my mustang i've been stopped several times, most warnings, but if cops sees old warnings that are relatively new, i would get a ticket, $75 current charges. Same with my truck. Cobra seems to have avoided being stopped. Over last 10 years been stopped probably 8 times and 3 tickets. Again they see prior stops. Now there are a ton of daily drivers with Historic plates driving illegally and no stops. Proposed law changes have been offered, but all it takes is one delegate to vote against and it diesn't pass. Looks like an emotional vice technical rational.
Yep. No issue In Virginia. They do have strict exhaust lawsI don't have front plates on either of my two vehicles and have basically never had an issue. I got scolded by a cop at BWI while I was picking someone up once, but I have never actually gotten pulled over for it.
Yeah Iāll be around Frederick and 270 mostlyIāve gotten a warning and a ticket for no front plate during the 3 years Iāve had my s550. Same for the 2 years of ownership of my Mach 1, and that car was orange. Everyone else pretty much nailed it. As long as you drive sensibly, you should be fine. But if theyāre out to fill a quota, thereās no avoiding it really.
For example. In the s550, the warning I got was in ocean city during cruisinā weekend. A show that brings thousands of cars. The cop took a look at my license and said heās make a deal with me. His normal patrol was my hometown. Heās give me a warning since we were in OC. But if he saw me back home, heād write me up.
The ticket I got was when I was cruising home after an early morning drive (in the slow lane doing 70 in a 70). Cop passed me on the other side of a 3 lane highway separated by a median. Whipped a u turn and caught up to me to light me up. I knew I was getting a ticket be cause he did the most

I live in Frederick and used to work in Rockville so 270 and 28 was where I spent most of my time. You rarely see troopers on 270 in that areaYeah Iāll be around Frederick and 270 mostly
