D'oh! Ticket for Deleted Front Plate - Page 3

It is illegal to drive with no front plate here too. Cops like to follow me around, so I won't push my luck on that one. I got personalized plates so at least they look nice (GTO*05). It is also illegal to have plate frames or covers that obscure or block the top or bottom edges of the plate graphics. Really, when you have a shiny, bright red, muscle car, they are just lookin' for any reason to stop you.

Fergy, The speed limit in rural parts of Texas is 75 day 65 night (70d 65n for trucks) on all interstates-US highways and state routes.The speed limit otherwise is 70d 65n for cars and trucks the only exception being 60d 55n truck speed limit on some state routes. There is NO place in Texas that has a split speed limit for cars with the night limit being less than 65mph... On a side note Texas is very close to raising the day limit to 80mph for cars...

Finally some common sense in speed laws, 80 mph on a rural highway. Are you certain that the section of 10 that I'm talking about is 65. I've only been through there twice. I do remember the trooper saying 55 and think i remember seeing signs. I also clearly remember in eastern Texas that the speed changed. Anyone from El Paso????
