License plate cover violation in Ontario?

technosilver · 11-16-2001

I've heard from numerous sources that tinted license plate covers are no longer permitted.

Rumor has it that anyone with these covers can be slapped with fines of up to $108.

Validation anyone?

Correct, I been hit and fined for...fought and lost. Oh yeah warned many many times before that too, unfortunately my bolts were rusted on the old 'civ and couldn't get them off. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

Their a little more leanient in non-winter months. They'll nail you always in the winter, cause they snow makes the plates' visibility even worse.

ah man why are they getting so tight, its friggin obvious that we are not cop cars

CiViCBoY · 11-16-2001

They've been tight ever since the 407 opened up, they claim it affects the photo system they use to track the cars using it and I've been hassled since then. That's why I use clear now.

Techno: u better get rid of the blue ones u have. I tried to get blue ones from Formula Honda (free) back in March but my friend there wouldn't let me...too much hassle for usin' them.

By the way, most of the time that I got stopped were by Metro cops even though the 407 is way up in York Region territory.

Well, on the hand...I did have a "goo wak jai cheh"...Dark tint, lowered to the ground, loud exhaust, stickers stickers stickers...every cop wanted to pull me over.

Can't be as bad as my 83 MR2 with supercharger... that thing was just screaming *cop magnet* left and right.

Booohahaha · 11-16-2001

Let's just say..they kindly asked me to exit the car once...they were looking for a firearm.

How do I know? One of them asked me if I was packing.

Guy, I think I was the first to ever do a blowfish on the plexi-glass in the back of a cop car dood... as you can see, I was quite the mature kid back then

CiViCBoY · 11-16-2001

Real sanitary there Techno...

Yes I said Sanitary.

I can't even start to imagine the kinds of people he's probably had in that back seat!

'Course I can't top the blowfish in a cop car. You win!
