As we have stated before, we have been pulled over by the police a fair bit in Mexico City since having arrived here four months ago. Fridays seem to be especially bad. The excuse for these traffic stops has been that we do not have a front licence plate. Unfortunately Alberta only gives one licence plate as do some US states. The solution to our problem was for us to get our good friend back in Edmonton, Ed , to get a Alberta vanity plate made with our licence number. Yesterday we received it by DHL courier and we put it on right away.
Now I hope that this will help keep the Trafico (traffic police) away.

Hmmmmm, that's interesting. We're in the same boat. We haven't been stopped yet, but we haven't spend a lot of time in Mexico City yet.
Our front license plate is a Mexico flag - maybe they're being kind because we're so patriotic! :)
I was told I couldn't get such a plate - did your friend get it from a registry office? How much?
No, my friend got the plate from a vendor at West Edmonton Mall. He then couriered it down. The other option is to go to one of the registry offices and get a vanity plate but that is very costly. As well if your plates have only letters you can't drive on fridays.
