Maybe dumb, but salient question? Does Illinois have front plates? For some reason, years ago I thought they didn't.

Yep, we have front plates.

"Maybe dumb, but salient question? Does Illinois have front plates? For some reason, years ago I thought they didn't."

Washington state requires a front plate. None of my cars since 1987 has had a front plate. I've been pulled over twice. Once I got a $35 ticket (back around 1991) and once I got a warning.

It's worth it. It really screws up the lines of the 300m.

BTW. Illinois has been agressively using traffic law violators to bolster its economy for the last couple of years. I'm sure some of you guys from Chicago can talk about what they started doing, RETROACTIVELY, to Ipass violators. Hmmm...

I've driven in the state on three trips. I HATE driving in that state and avoid it at all costs. The toll booths are beyond belief. Every time I came to one I stopped, asked the clerk how much I owed and then put the car in park and dug around for change before finally coming up with the proper ammount. If everyone did that, the tolls would not last.

Like captain kirk said in one episode, "and now you will know why war is a thing do be avoided."

Robroy version, "and now you will know why toll roads are a thing to be avoided."
