On a positive note, I drove my Dually to Charlotte and Back Friday with no plate (hitch is behind plate). I was towing a trailer with no plate, and a 53 Chevy with a 53 plate. I think I logged 700 miles, passed dozens of cops, and never got stopped.

I backed it up driving my fullblown racecar to Caffine and Octane Sunday morning with no plate at all. 100+ miles up and back.

My Point: If you don't act like a fool, cops usually leave you alone.
