Here's a handy tip for those in Los Angeles County who get fixit tickets for no front license plate. Only after rolling the Starlet through the Vehicle Inspection Station and paying the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department 15 bucks to look at the front plate, did we find out the California Highway Patrol will perform this same inspection for free. As hard as it is to believe, the ticket issuing officer made no mention of this free service. The clerk managing huge line at the courthouse was the one that tipped us off. That line is where you will still have to wait forever to pay the 10 buck administrative fee if you get such a fixit ticket.
