Can I get a Picard? Nobody cares about petitions, and they care even less about online ones.

it’s funny how people get tricked into thinking they can actually play a part in meaningful policy.

There’s a lot of other more important things that suck and should be removed or fixed. Mandatory un-regulated insurance for one. Gov’t could give a fuck less what people in our age group think, because we don’t vote.

More than you can afford pal.

So just keep that front plate on your car. I don’t wanna see a thread about someone bitching about a no-front-plate ticket.

$110 per ticket. I still have a few left unpaid out of province.

But yeah, there is no fighting them, especially when you are a multi-offender.

So if you cannot afford to pay it then keep your front plate

It’s not a traffic violation. I don’t see why insurance would care, or even find out about it.

On that note, can you be ticketed for plate visibility? Say it’s angled, hung to low on the buper, or obscured?

exactly. why fight for something like this, when there is so much worst bs going on around tuners, young drivers, etc?

and what if they do give you this? since they gave a little to your demands, will you have to take some of theres? no modding, etc?

From what I’ve heard when you are radar checked the radar must target something flat on the car ie the license plate, so that’s what it’s used for afaik.
