I drove my last car (in UK) for 2 years with no front number plate - legal requirement in UK. Every club meet i went to folk said 'did it drop off??' or similar, and telling me id be in trouble. i carried it in the boot (trunk), but didnt like the look - spoilt the front of the car imo. never pulled over, no problems. once had a traffic cop come over for a chat while we waited in the sliproad for a traffic jam to clear, then he went off to find out the problem, and drove all the way back round to tell me what had happenned. no mention at all. Ofcourse i dont drive like a maniac as my 5 year old is usually in the passenger seat, so maybe that helps.
In NSW there's a $308.00 fine and loss of three points out of twelve. ( it takes 3 years to get them back) For an obstructed number plate
