[Healeys] California Healey Owners

[Michael MacLean]

 My Harley doesn't have a front plate. Does that count?

I got a fix-it ticket a few years ago while driving a Mitsubishi Eclipse. I quickly fabricated a snap on bracket, drove to the police station, had the ticket signed off, left the station, stopped and removed the front plate. I don’t have front plates on the healey or my daily driver. However, it does not matter if the car came without a front mounting bracket, in California it is the owners’ responsibility to mount the front plate. If I am pulled over for that I plan on telling them that I just finished some body work and the front bracket is backordered. Don’t know if that will work.

It was my Ford Escape. I have a special interest yom plate on my Healey and only one is required. Otherwise I need both plates.

BTW I bough my ford from a used car lot with no front olste or mounting bracket.

The following was reported in the United British Sports Car Club's newsletter as coming from the Association of California Car Clubs:  "...The Legislature is busy finishing up bills for the year. Of note: Missing a front license plate has gone from a fix-it ticket to a $300 fine...".

 

I have long thought that this was inevitable with all the red light cameras and all the bridges going cashless, no human toll takers, encouraging the use of Fastrak.

 

I know there are a lot of Healeys without front license plates.  Has anyone been cited yet?
