Nope I won't sign!

This is a load of crap:

"First, eliminating the need for a front license plate will significantly reduce the state costs associated with production, storage, and shipping. Second, a front license plate restricts the performance of passenger vehicles. Modern cars aren't being designed with front plates in mind anymore, because mounting brackets that are necessary to hold the plates interfere with the cars' aerodynamics and often get damaged during the car-washing process. Third, unnecessary damage is sustained from minor bumper-to-bumper collisions, because the front mounting brackets on passenger cars can cause cracks and abrasions to the rear bumpers of the cars that they hit. Finally, police officers will be more productive in stopping dangerous motor vehicle violations such as drunk driving, reckless driving, speeding, etc., because their time won't be compromised by a California motorist who simply didn't have a front license plate on display."

restricts the performance, lol.

I like that they don't have them. Car looks better and I can put a custom plate on the front which says BITCH backwards (not really though!), but they do offer a little better of an opportunity to catch somebody doing something bad, though the rear one is responsible for the majority of that, so I can see that this is not really required.

of course these online petitions are a total waste of time.

Only reason I don't want my front license plate is for appearance reasons

I don't think the petition makes any valid case for no front license plate. None of the reasons stated make much, if any, sense at all.
