It's centrifugal, actually.

You are absolutely correct. I stand corrected.

When I lived in Skokie, I hated those village stickers. I was living in North Carolina one summer and just got a car and the night I came back to Skokie they gave me a ticket for no village sticker at 2:30am (car parked on street). I was like give me a break, city hall wasn't open.



On a side note and not to sound to nerdy, the correct force is centripetal. Centripetal force is the external force required to make a body follow a circular path. The force is directed inward, toward the center of the circle. Centrifugal force (away from the center, outward) ,strictly speaking, does not exist. Tons of people get this wrong and even I find it conceptually easier to admit centrifugal force exists. If you do a search of the difference you should be able to find out more about it. Not that it matters at all, everyone knows what you are talking about. I just thought I would throw the bit of info out there.

I would count on getting another ticket in the near future for your front plate. They are cracking down pretty hard on those. Even saw someone state on the subaru boards that they were writing them as moving violations.

Well it looks like Johnny Law was doing the rounds in my apartment complex last night.
My neighbor got done for no city sticker too.
Fortunately my car sleeps in a garage so they couldn't nab me again.

I ordered some bad *** magnets to try out the license plate mag-mount idea.
Hopefully they arrive before the weekend. Just need to ensure that they dont get near any electronics.....that would suck if I erase my ECU.

I'll take pics and do a small write up for anyone who is interested.

Sounds like that would make a good write up.

lol. Don't have one, and probably won't until I'm ticketed for it. Maybe someone else has a photo of their windshield with the sticker...

yep, well, i still have yet to get my plates but when I do, I think I will just zip tie mine to the front. Eh, I don't want to, but rather not get my ***** busted for that
