Viper Owner
I was just pulled over from a Peoria Police Officer here in Illinois for no front license plate. I had explained in my defense that I have owned Vipers for the past 10 years and had never had a framre in order to display the front plate. He said that the state had awarded the city a grant to crack down on no front license plates. He said that earlier today he had written 9 citations today alone to Corvettes, Porsches and even a Ferrari. He then called the local Sam Lemans Car Dealership(Dodge dealer) to confirm my argument that front license plate frames were not supplied with the car. He said that I had 72 hours to acquire a license plate frame and mount the license or I would have to pay the $75.00 fine. I then went on to explain that he had better just write me the ticket because I have to be in Nashville Tennessee tomorrow afternoon and that I would not be back in town before the 72 hours would elapse. He asked when I would be able to address the issue and I said early next week. He then scratched his chin, looked over the car and said, well I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. He did not write any warning or citation and went on to say that of all the cars that were pulled over, my Viper was by far the best looking one of the bunch. He said that he was a bit of a car enthusiasts and he would definately recognize my car. In other words put a plate on it or next time he would NOT cut any breaks.
Any suggestions from other Illinois Viper owners? I dread the thought of putting a front plate on the car. Is there a quick release frame attachment that could be quickly attached and detached?
Not a happy Illinoisian!
