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

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?

I really want to start a campaign to convince my state government that two license plates is simply redundant. I live in California, where the state is consistently broke and in debt and also puts on a huge show of caring for the environment. I figure arguing that going to 1 plate would cut costs in half and use half the resources should work.

Ha, that sucks. I live in Louisiana, we only have to have one. When I moved to TX after Katrina, I found it so strange that they had two plates.

YDI because you had two years to fix it, and didn't. Though it's understandable if you spent those two years in a state where two plates aren't required. And #57 - I could be wrong, but I believe the rationale for making cars have two plates is so that if you run a red light, or try to go through a tollbooth without paying, or something like that, then the cameras or people there have two chances to catch your plate number.
