German License Plate in the state of NJ

ibiza21 · 09-21-2009, 01:47 PM

Hey Guys,
Ive seen a few license plates on the front bumper of some cars and NJ tags in the rear. I just wanna know what is the violaition if i get pulled over, is the ticket expensive?

Some cars dont even have a tag in the front but i know in NJ you have to, All help is appreciated!

Thanks!

It is not legal to run Euro plates on the front of the car but it really depends on the cop as far as tickets.

ibiza21 · 09-21-2009, 03:48 PM

Thats what im trying to get an idea how much the ticket runs, i know if i have front windows tinted its $60 ticket but if thats the same for the plate in front its not worth it??

persian54 · 09-21-2009, 06:31 PM

why not put your NY plate on a tow hook holder and then a euro plate on your bumper?

best of both worlds lol

ibiza21 · 09-22-2009, 12:07 AM

it just wouldnt look right! Its NJ by the way lol..........

If anyone can atleast give me an idea, because i dont wanna do this and spend 125 on a plate and holder and it doesnt end up working out.......

You'll get front plate tickets. I'm not sure how much they are, but you'll get them.

Just put the euro plate in the back of the car under your US plate.

risky..

Delta0311 · 09-22-2009, 10:30 AM

Well it depends, do the front plate numbers match the rear? If you slap on a random EU plate on your car, there is a very high chance of you getting a ticket. If you had the EU plate printed to match the back plate than most cops will let you slide; unless of course the cop is an asshole.

haha sorry I had read NY the first time

I doubt it'll make a difference. Cops are out in force to make their towns and counties money.

I run a euro plate in front and haven't been pulled over yet and I've had it on for more than a year too.

It just brings more attention to your car, you're better off with no plate. With no plate if they don't see the back of your car they can just think it's an out of state car.

lonestar22 · 09-24-2009, 03:18 AM

theres a guy here that runs a euro plate in the rear with TX the two decals then his plate number. been a few weeks and he has yet to get pulled over

I had a euro plate on the front of my Audi for 3 years with the exact number of the rear plate and never got a ticket.
