    I ran this by my wife (an attorney) last night. She thought the cop was probably in error but if she gets time today will look up the relevant statute. Since they let you register a car without a CO license, that would be evidence to her that there is no such requirement.

    You can't realistically expect the guy to register his cars in one state...what do you do with emissions testing? Drive cross country once a year, just to test?

    Thanks. One benefit of keeping my license in Arizona is that I don't plan on putting the front license plate on my 430. I figure I might just get a warning instead of a ticket. I know it's not a moving violation in CO but if I get too many of these $100 tickets I'll probably cave in and put the front plate on. I don't think Co and AZ have recipiprosity(sp)?

    I have driven Ferraris around CO for 10 years and 55K miles w/o front plates and never been pulled over for that. Even when pulled over for speeding, cops never said a peep. Some guys carry a plate and busted bracket in the trunk to get out of it should they be pulled over, but it really is rare.

    Roland never is pulled over as, well, he is who he is.

    If I am pulled over (never a speeding ticket since 1985!) it is invariably because the officers are making sure the exotic is not stolen as I have a very shady look about me, I guess. They always like to look at the car. Always.

    Front plates have never been on any of my cars in the 20 plus years of driving in Colorado. It had never been an issue until my wife had been pulled over in our Range Rover during a drunk screen (she doesn't drink, so the trooper had to look the car up & down for other 'problems')

    She went to retrieve the registration, PoI, etc. from the rear storage area (glove box is retarded -- sorry, engineeringly challenged) and five front plates, only one of which was the proper RR plate. . .were strewn about under the cargo liner (forgotten as they never moved around under that heavy rubber).

    He kept her there for 30 minutes running each number ensuring current registrations in my name. Man, I would look at five plates as suspicious as hell. She was dismissed with a verbal warning only. In CO, a written ticket MUST be counted no matter what it says.

    State Troopers here have been extremely reasonable in my humble experience as long as one behaves as a citizen and not as the ****-bags with whom they deal every day. . .

    Wow! I happened to stray over to this forum/thread from NW and I must say, this thing bounced around like a basketball at a Sonics game! And here I thought only we did that sort of thing. ;-)

    It sure is entertaining, and somewhat educational. I need to “stray” more often…!

    The beatings will continue until moral improves...



    and yes, they give $50 parking tickets in Denver if you park on the street without a front plate anywhere near downtown. Keep it up and you get the boot. :(
