Default Ontario - Tired of having a front plate ruin the look of your vette?

I started to search as to why we needed a front plate, and came across this petition to sign to try and get the provincial government to wise up:

https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/Ont_Front_Plate/

So, if you live in Ontario, check it out. If and after you sign, there's a bit of begging for money, but I just bailed out at that point. I might rethink that later.

Maybe there's a similar petition in your own province, you never know.

those are acutally excellent points brought up... many I didn't really consider before.

That could account for the target being exceeded by about 20% at this point.
Hopefully something comes out of it!
Thanks for sharing,

That things been around for at least 10 years. If it ain't happened by now, it ain't happening. Unfortunately.

Even in the US, the land of the free, the trend is for more states to be adding the requirement for front plates...

Police "oncoming vehicle analytics".

Hate to say it but front plates are here to stay. I'd wager that enforcement greatly increases in the coming years.

I have one on the vette but I don't run a front plate on my Viper and I'll see how long my luck lasts.

Some cars don't look good with a front plate but I don't mind the front plate on my C7. Personalized plates are over $300 now, so having them on both ends at least gives you more value for your money
