We stopped with the front plates probably about 15 years ago.

My neighbour was stopped for not having a front plate. He told the officer he hadn't noticed it was missing. He was told to get one but got no ticket because the officer told him it would be impossible to prove he knew it was missing and did not replace it. It could have fallen off scant moments before or been stolen. Friendly officer, eh.

 

Just saw this thread in a search. I think this information is still accurate.

I live in Ontario and don't have a front plate. Maybe I will get ticketed, maybe I won't. I'm not putting a plate on.

 

Saskatchewan just changed. Not required anymore.

 

When I had mine come off in a car wash, it was about a month before I got my warning.
That only came when I was stopped for another issue
I decided not to push my luck & put it back on.

hehehe...
I'd love to come up with a motorized unit that would flip my OEM filler piece (sedan) with the push of a button.

BTW, do you know how much the fine is if you get ticketed?

 

my boss just got a ticket for no front plate about a month ago. i believe it was around 110-115 dollars. there was a stinkin admin fee in it for like 15-20 bucks. what a rip-off.

 

I'd love one of those too, but I think if I knew how to do that I would just put rockets in my car...

And the fine is $110 last I checked.

 

At a driving thing I took a couple of weeks ago there was a fellow there with a Porsche who's front plate was a sticker. He said he took the plate to a printer who scanned it and made him this thick sticker which avoided any drilling. He had trimmed it down to the bare minimum size and says the cops have looked at it twice and not cared - the plate info being accurate is their only concern. Added benefit - impervious to photo radar.

 

hmmm, sounds interesting.
Wonder if that would fly in Ontario?

 

LOL, kinda sounds like a James Bond ride I once saw. Great idea.

ahhhh bs!! i got a warning from an off duty police officer for not mounting my plate in BC. i did have it in my windshield tho XD so yea its required in BC, BUT now im wondering if im allowed to cut/fold the plate so it fits in the bumper grill instead. i dont fancy having a front plate on the g =). can anyone find the section in the MVA about front plates in bc? thnx!
