Abstract
We study the asymptotic proportion of smooth plane curves over a finite field which are tangent to every line defined over . This partially answers a question raised by Charles Favre. Our techniques include applications of Poonen's Bertini theorem and Schrijver's theorem on perfect matchings in regular bipartite graphs. Our main theorem implies that a random smooth plane curve over admits a transverse -line with very high probability.
