Hampton Roads Ticket!!
Hey guys, just figured I would let everyone know that if you dont have a front tag on your car, that there is a State oinker sittin on 64 at the 664 interchange waitin to hand out tickets for it. I got one today. Havent been online to pay it yet, but I dont have the tools to put the plate on, so I might just leave it off until I leave. Just a heads up for anyone that travels that road without a front tag.

Aren't you headed off to basic soon? Make sure you notify your recruiter. I know the AF takes it seriously and there are waivers involved.
I know it's UGLY guys, but it IS the LAW. Put the plate on and save yourself the aggravation. The Va State Police (henceforth to be known as The Va State Revenue Collectors) really don't need to be encouraged....

Dang, that sucks...good thing I am a procrastinator, I keep meaning to buy a front cover for my car (where the tag goes) but have not done it yet...I guess it will stay on...don't need a ticket.
Sorry to hear about your luck Matt.

BTW, if you wanna stick it to the man.....
Did you know that 170Mil of the Commonwealths revenue this year is from Fines, etc. So if you don't break the law, you'll deny them part of their operating budget.

A bit of advice: I was stopped twice by the same Trooper (once he turned around on a 4 lane divided highway to come after me 
) and he gave me a warning the first time and a lecture and warning the second time. He also told me that Cops LOOK FOR CORVETTES with no front tag.
So....you have been warned, we are in the bulls eye!
I was also told it's $75 plus court cost but no points.

One of the few benefits of living in Pennsylvania is no front tag. But I still can't drive in Virginia. Something about a radar detector fine I forgot to mail them in 1986. They promised to issue a warrant if I didn't pay. Don't know if that ever happened, or if it is still valid anyhow, but not going to find out. But you all are welcome to drive here without the ugly tag.

God, I really don't miss that place at all! Worst place in the Navy to be stationed! Bridges, tunnels, traffic and Norfolk Naval Shipyard all wrapped into one! I can safely say that place was more expensive than Hawaii--Virginia has more taxes and rules/regulations than any place on the planet.....I'm not kidding!

Suck it up butter cup !
I watched Norfolk's finest pull a line of Vette's one year leaving our Waterside event........all w/o front plate and all got a nice love note.
I have always run my fronts.........but I am still trying to get the law changed
