I think it's 110.00 in total....Thing is I was slightly going over the speed limit and the officer gave me the front plate sticker instead. Maybe its a good thing to leave it offNope. Its only a matter of time before I am caught. Might run into the dealership tomorrow.
Fight it...I got my first ticket for no front license plate. Will this effect my insurance?
Did it ever increase your rates?I got my first ticket for no front license plate. Will this effect my insurance?
No. Theoretically it's a non moving violation. Much like illegal tinted windowsDid it ever increase your rates?
Or use the Murray method.
I wouldn't trust velcro, but good for you if it works for you. My method is just make your own mount using the holes that are there already. (See above)I don't quite get what the "Murray" method is. Back in C4 days I got a ticket leaving the dealership after being told by sales that I did not need front plate. Drove back to the dealership and they credited me with the $100.
My C8 got 2 strips of velcro and slapped on. In BC you could move plates between "stored" and "insured" cars so I did that twice a year and velcro made it much simpler. New system this year so you never need to change plates but I still use velcro
You tell him you'd be happy with a ticket? Not sure where your quote ends. I'd never ask for a ticket myself.I’ve been “front plate free” on all my cars since moving to Ontario in 1993, Approx24 cars in all. Been stopped 5 times but only once I got the 110$ fine. I just tell the officer that I hate the look of a front plate but happy to get the ticket in exchange for my decision, and see what happens.
Not permanent. Keep under seat - use if stopped. I agree. I may be dumb, but, I aren't stupid - LOL. I thought my point was clear in my post nes pas?To me a front plate inside the windshield looks even worse than on the front of the car. Plus glare from window refection. No thanks.
30 years ago I got advice from a Peel region officer friend of mine on how to interact when stopped. He told me that they are lied to and told silly stories all day long, or people argue everything. He told me the best strategy is to just be polite, upfront, open and truthful. I have used that strategy successfully for many, many years. I was once clocked doing a ridiculous 197KPH, but after a polite conversation I was written up for 124KPH. Usually when I tell an officer that I don’t mind the ticket for the front plate, they just give me a verbal warning and let me go.You tell him you'd be happy with a ticket?

Not sure about BC but not legal in OntarioNo front plate on my car either. I had a new 2007 Shelby GT 500 Mustang: no front plate- over 6 yr. period two warnings from police - no ticket. Keep front plate in car - police - put up inside windshield - good idea??
