Motorized Front license plate?

[tsmith3]

Does anybody on here have a motorized front license plate holder? I unfortunately live in a state where they require a front plate If you have any info on one of these it would be mucho appreciated.

Motorized...as in when you get clocked going 140+mph and the popo flips the lights on....you flip your switch and hide the plates???

This would work for the rear, not sure how you could make it work for the front.

Yep, thats somewhat on lines I was thinking. I would rather have it come out flat on an actuator and rotate up instead of this rotating on a single pivot point. kinda hard to explain. I'll draw it up and have the machine shop fab up some brackets.

In the late 60's (ouch) I had a Shelby GT 500 that had a spring loaded front plate that dropped back to a level plane at a certain speed. I think 45 or 50 mph.

I live in a state that requires a front plate too, but they can not pull you over for just that. As long as I'm running legal they have to leave me alone. If I was to get pulled over I would get a $35 ticket, which is worth it to me. I used to have a front plate but after an accident she showed up with no front plate I love the front view with no plate so I will put up with the ticket.

I am required to have the front plate in Illinois too, but do not have them on any of my vehicles. My little civil disobedience gesture.

I would think a spring loaded mount would be all that is needed. The concept is to display it when pulled over...then put it away as soon as the man with the "heater on his hip" departs. So a simple mechanical release would be adequate.

I will take several $35 tickets before I lose any sleep over a front plate...

The police can pull you over here. 1st offense: minimum fine of $73. Lots of folks willing to pay the price.
