I live in Toronto and have never been pulled over for no front plate in my 10+ years of not having one. Even when I’ve stopped for RIDE checks, the officers have never said anything.

But I think that's going to change in many regions with the introduction of ALPR. Prior to this, I wouldn't have cared much and would have taken my chances. Also, I confirmed with my insurance company (Desjardins) that multiple tickets for no plate (I.e. Non-moving violation) will start to impact rates. Previously they did not. Not sure about other insurance companies but I'm sure many will follow suit.

I had a TPS officer at a RIDE check tell me that he only tickets people for no front plates "if they're doing something dumb" or if they have lots of other violations on their record. If I start getting tickets then yeah, I'll put on a front plate but until then I'll drive without one. |

I completely agree with you though, they should have kept the stickers and ditched the front plate. I would have GLADLY paid for an annual sticker renewal and been able to run plate free.

Does the 407 ever use the front plate for non-transponder vehicles? Wondering if there is some agreement with the 407 Corp. to keep front plates.

407 cameras are only setup to scan the rear plates.

That's exactly right. Ford wanted them gone but the OPP made such a fuss about keeping them (gotta keep the ticket revenue coming in!).

I've had my G80 for about a year now and been pulled over twice in the Toronto area for no front plate.
First time was a road check before entering the highway and it was just within a few weeks of having the car and I told them I had just picked up the car and was waiting to get PPF done before putting the plate on so they let it slide. Second time was in downtown Toronto just as I pulled out of underground parking and they gave me a ticket - planning to take it to court and just show them I got a license plate on the front now with some pictures, but I took the plate off again after the pictures. I still haven't gotten a court date yet and its been about 7 months now lol. I think if you keep an eye out for the cops and hide behind other traffic when you see them you can avoid a ticket, for a while at least. |

14 months of ownership. No front plate.
But, I live in Ottawa and we’re so close to Quebec that I’m sure police officers see many cars without front plates that they can’t be bothered. I assume I’ll get a ticket if/when I get stopped for another reason. |
