Today, I decided that I was going to get my front license plate put back on my car after two years of having it off. In these two years I somehow never got pulled over for it, as it is illegal to drive without one in MD. On my way there, I got pulled over for not having a front license plate. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I got my new license plate, which is the story of my life. FML
Today, I had a rude awakening after a traffic accident the day before. I'd fled the scene to avoid having to pay hefty damage fines. I would have gotten away with it too, if my license plate hadn't fallen off and incriminated me. FML
Today, I got a $200 ticket mailed to me for drunk driving in Maryland. I have never been pulled over for drunk driving and I have never been to Maryland. FML
Today, I was pulled over and fined $100 for driving without a license, as I'd accidentally left home without my wallet. I later found my wallet wedged beside my car seat, where it had been the entire time. FML
Today, I received a notice that I'm being fined for failure to renew my Florida license. I've lived in Maryland for the last seven years and I've never had a Florida license. FML
Today, I finally went to the DMV to replace my lost license. After waiting for almost two hours, I casually rummaged through my purse. Something strange inside the lining caught my eye. It was my license. FML
Today, I took my parking permit off my car to debate a ticket that I got for not having my permit displayed. Twenty minutes later, when I got back to my car, I had another ticket on my window for not having my parking permit displayed because I was using it to disprove the first ticket. FML
Today, I was driving to the DMV to take a test, after getting some points removed from my license. On the way there, I got a speeding ticket and got my license suspended completely. FML
Today, I got pulled by a cop because I forgot to put my registration sticker on. I get nervous around authority and have nervous shakes. I ripped the registration sticker 3 times trying to put it on. The cop then gave me a ticket for "Improper Equipment". FML
Today, I got pulled over for violating hands-free law and not having an updated address on my driver's license. Two days ago, I got pulled over for the same reasons. Now, I have four tickets I need to deal with. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Can't you put your plates on by yourself?

Huh? You were driving someplace to get your plate put back on? I'm no mechanic but even I can put my own plates on. It takes about 2 minutes. How inept are you? Doesn't really matter. You broke a stupid law, but the law none the less, and got a ticket. That's always YDI

Anyone who had never gotten pulled over for it would not bother having them on.

At least its just a fix it ticket And EMR, dont be a jackass. I have to go to a mechanic to put my front plate on. Why? Beacuse my car doesn't have the thing that sits on the front bumber. I have the attachment piece but i needs to be put on my car with a drill or something and if I attempted to do it myself I could potentially ruin my bumper and devalue my car. Don't be such a judgemental prick. How do you know the OP didn't buy a new car that didn't HAVE the attachment for the front plate on her car? And to everyone who is whining. A) it costs money B) quit acting like you'e never done anything wrong. Thankfuly I know the OP probably got a fixit ticket which are cheap and can be refunded if you get it fixed. I hope all of you saying YDI get a jaywalking ticket.

Interesting. In Missouri, you can drive without ANY plates, so long as you have the proper paperwork (registration or SIGNED title) AND you are on your way to the DMV or your insurance office. That is to say, you can drive the car LEGALLY to the various places you need to go to make it fully legal. Anything else is trouble. You should see if there is such a provision in MD law. I'd click YDI except that you were trying to make it right. The YDI people are all just a bunch of unforgiving facist jerks.

In CA they have the same restriction. My car doesn't have a place for a front plate... oh well.

That reminds me of the time I got pulled over and given a ticket for not having my driver's license on me. I had lost it 3 months before and was driving to the DMV to get a new one.
