BIG TIME speed traps on 235

[StarCat]

Yea your right and i usually wear the seatbelt, Not only that but i was just saying in the sense of getting a ticket. I would rather have a 25.00 dollar one than an 80.00.

I know what you meant. I got a ticket though for my tag and I was shocked that my ticket was more than a seatbelt ticket. The cop told me I could just attatch my tag with garbage bag ties problem is, my truck is from FL where they dont need front tags, it has to have those special tag holders that bolt underneath. We have been trying to get one from the dealer but they are being a PITA. Autozone doesnt sell them, and I am NOT drilling holes in the front of my truck so I can attatch my tag with twisty ties I might be from PG County but I'm not totally ghetto.

What can I say? I couldn't live with myself if I hurt someone else in my car.

Just got word from folks coming in for 2nd shift. North and South. Lines of cars getting pulled over. Do the speed limit people.

For the record, I left to go home about 10 minutes after this post. I travel from Wildewood to Gate 3 and did not see a single "speed trap" or even a police cruise. This thread was a tease.

UFB the ticket for not wearing a seatbelt is only $25 YET, the ticket for having your front tag in the front window instead of being attatched to the front bumper, is $60. I would think seatbelts would be far more important than where your tag is on your car :shrug:

fine for no front tag went up then!! last time i got a front tag ticket (year ago) it was 55$. i had it in the window cause i refused to drill holes in the bumper. cop gave me the ticket and he told me next time drill holes in the bumper. i told him when he wants to buy me the bumper, i will drill holes, until then it's goingin the window.

You're a rebel.

You'd have to be going slow enough TO see them instead of a blur. :zoomzoomzoom:

That is so true.

If I was that cop, I would have made it my hobby to pull you over every time I saw you out and ticket you for the tag based on your smartazz comment.

I'm not so sure I believe you said that unless you are an idiot. Are you an idiot?

I can't find any place in the MD vehicle law book that says where your front plate has gotta be, as long as it's visible from the front.

Propped up in the window would be obstructing your vision and laying on the dashboard is not a visible spot.

Why would someone do a nasty thing like that? BTW, what is dumber, an idiot or a moron? I may have to alter my post.

 

[01mds10]

the state law says, the front tag must be visible on the front. it's visible in the windshield, whats the big deal? i don't see any besides cops would rather bust people for not having front tags, rather then people actually breaking the law.

huntr1-which the cop did so. i've recieved 3 tickets from him, 1 for speeding, and 2 for front tag.

willie, i did say that, which i really don;t care if you believe me or not, i am a smart ass and i have a tendency of telling cops the wrong thing. i guess im not one of those people who will kiss your ass so you don't give me a ticket..

i did end up taing the tag and sticking it behind the mesh insert after a few months, but then i ended up getting a new bumper and making my own bracket for the liscense plate to avoid drilling in the bumper, which will decrease the look of my truck, and since this is a truck i enter into car shows, you gotta look good.

i understand the whole obstruction of vision, now the temporary paper passes you get for your vehicle(for the naval base), that you tape to your window, thats not obstruction of view?

I can't find any place in the MD vehicle law book that says where your front plate has gotta be, as long as it's visible from the front.

But it does say that the windshield must be free of obstructions at 22-404 of the Transportation Article.

It does not matter one little bit if the tag was even transparent. It doesn't matter if the cop was a total dingleberry. You're response to him was asinine and could very well put you on somebody's list. The fact that this talk makes you feel macho isn't a point in your favor either.

Floyd, is this one of your kids?

from 22-404

(a) Signs, posters, etc.- A person may not drive any motor vehicle with any sign, poster, or other nontransparent material on the front windshield or sidewings of the vehicle other than a certificate or other paper either required to be so displayed by law or authorized by the Administrator.

Likely that the base/bases have reached agreement with the MVA and those are allowed when placed in the lower lefthand corner of the windshield.

no it does not make me feel macho...

all of this happened when i first got my truck(in high school) so i was a kid then and i grew up alot sense then. i havn't recieved a ticket in over 6 months now, so i don't think i am on the list of anyone anymore.

i do know floyd personally, known him for years now, he is also dating my ex girlfriend
