Nice license plate dude!

 

No Holes Front License Plate Mount

No Holes License Plate Bracket

 

Hmmm

Apparently the link was deleted in my post for no holes front license bracket.

You can buy this from SkeneDesigns .com

 

Hahaha, I was wondering when somebody was going to notice my photochop.

 

I considered that unit but there is not enough room under the center section of the bumper. You would have to mount it under the nose to have room for the lower bracket. If you want a low plate then it will work but if you mount it close to the original mount it won't work. I know it won't on the 2010-2014 front but maybe the older years it will work.

 

That is inventive.

I assume the bolts go through the center of the tubing to prevent damage to the grille as well as provide the spacing - do you need four bolts to keep it steady or will two suffice?

I've never had to keep a front plate on my Jags other than using a zip tie just to pass inspections, but someone in my Jag Club just got a ticket for not having a plate on his F-Type...

 

NMDOT just banned them, as well as the vans, from State and Federal roadways. They are still in use in several areas (Rio Rancho is one of them and I believe Santa Fe is another) Albuquerque removed them all together.

 

While I'm not a fan of speed cameras, mostly because their connection with road safety is debatable and they're much more about revenue generation, red-light cameras are a different matter. Having narrowly missed being t-boned on more than one occasion by idiots deliberately running the lights at speed because they didn't want their oh-so-important journey delayed, anything that makes the buggers think twice is OK in my book.

 

The problem in the US was that in many cases the red light camera operator was also given control of the lights. The operator was found to be manipulating the light cycles to up the revenue in Arizona. Lots of folk were getting nailed and eventually somebody spotted why. The contractor had significantly reduced the time of the amber light as the lights cycled to red. Given that many surface streets in the US have 45 mph speed limits, you can imagine that a two-second amber is going to drastically increase the number of apparent red light runners.

Here in Nevada no traffic conviction can be made based purely on video or photographic evidence. In theory, this is because such evidence breaches the right of the individual to face their accuser and there is the 5th amendment issue of admitting who was driving the car. In the UK the right to silence on this matter was done away with by Parliament. Not. Happening. Here.

However, another reason the likes of red light cameras are banned in Nevada is they are unable to distinguish between Joe Public and off duty police officers, their spouses, council members and their spouses, casino executives and their spouses.... getting the small town message here?

 

Parochiality rules, OK. Of course, if one of them runs a red & hits you, it'll be your fault...
