You all think velcro would hold the plate in place while driving?

That's what I do. I was getting tagged at my girls place in Forest Hills for not having a front plate, like clock work. They even ticketed me on Sunday.

So, I made a temporary bracket for the plate while I'm parked. I haven't been ticketed since. Now getting pulled over while driving without a front plate is something different. I've been tagged for those too.

don't use that sappy velcro that they sell.. use the industrial stuff. get it in white and your good ...u could bump and grind in your car and it won't come off...

these are used for the automotive purposes...like the trunk (lexus first aid kit)

http://www.velcro.com/auto/index.html

3M stuff

here ya could buy this, it adheres to freakin concrete... the only thing its grey...
http://www.ikitchenandhome.com/exve40.html

the point is ..yes it can hold it just look for the one you need ..do some research.

NASA invented it ..nuff said

oh and if they want your plates they gonna steal it regardless just like anyone's car ... if they want it bad enough they will take it.

Clockwork it is here in Forest Hills. I live right on austin street and these meter maids are everywhere just waiting.
