Can anyone tell me how people can drive Corvettes, Mustangs, Camaros, and other cars around with no plates at all without getting stopped? I don't know how many times we saw cars without plates but it was a lot.

I was behind a black C5 (on Interstate 15) with tinted glass, and no plates, if I drove two miles without a plate on my C5 I would get stopped.

Pretty amazing. When I drove my car home to IL from PA I had a PA temp tag and noticed State Troopers at two rest areas parked behind my car...

Something tells me they weren't there to admire it!

That must be the Vegas area? Up here in Reno you will get stopped and checked out for no rear plate.

I drove from phoenix AZ to Manitoba Canada with no plate and didn't get stopped, but hit my home city and was stopped twice in as many days.

How many times have you been passed on the highway by someone going 20-25 mph over the limit and never see them stopped? If it were me, I'd be stopped every mile or so if I kept up that speed.

Same principle seems to work for cars running no plates. If it were my car, I'd be pulled over every time I drove the car.

No back plates will get you stopped up here, but no fronts, not so much. At least not for me, with the vette or truck so far.

My experience is that I can not get away with much. When I do get stopped there's not much conversation. It's mostly, "I've stopped you for speeding. Driver's license and insurance please." Then after I give those to the officer it's "I'll be right back." Then after I sign the ticket it's "Have a nice day. Drive safe."
