"No front plate" is an equipment violation. Speeding is a moving violation. Moving violations carry "points" whereas equipment violations usually do not. No front plate might get you a ticket for an equipment violation. No front plate might also help you avoid a ticket for a speeding violation. The reason the police push the front plate issue so hard today is that the front plate is highly reflective. Having a front place dramatically increases the range and ease with which they can use laser to get a speed. An easy choice for me.

Excellent points you make, Stephen. And in CA, the DMV apparently is very backed up w/issuing plates for new cars, so one can legitimately drive around w/just plastic dealer tags for months anxiously waiting for those plates .....
