Ontario government considering eliminating front license plates

[G-ForceJunkie]

Multiple news outlets are reporting the provincial government is considering eliminating front license plates. If you agree, please e-mail your MPP and let them know you support the move to eliminate front plates. I believe they are trying to gauge public interest before making a decision.

I've been corresponding with my local MPP and the Minister of Transportation (Jeff Yurek) the last few months about eliminating front license plates. My argument has been based around cost, fuel efficiency and the associated environmental damage, and low speed collision damage and the associated insurance claims.

Personally I think most governments never think about this type of thing, so I feel if it's going to happen, this is our chance.

No.

Would love to see them eliminate the front plate. Would save the government a few $$ AND make for a cleaner look on our rides

I don't see a down side to this.

Doesn't really matter to me, but the newer Mustangs do look far better without the front plate.

I don't see a down side to this.

Not for us. Maybe for the police. Maybe for red-light-cameras (do they take front or rear pic? or both?)

I'd imagine they just capture the rear plate, at least the ones I've seen in KW anyway.

Lose the front one and offer up a variety of plates like Michigan does.

There will be a new product category showing up at Canadian Tire if this happens, with all the German cars on the road I can see those long euro plates showing up on many Merc’s, BM’s, R.Rovers,( Yugo’s, Lada’s..

I bought my Cobra out of Quebec, so no front plate originally.
So glad I drilled my front bumper for a plate, not!
I say keep the front plate just for that reason lol

[stangstevers]

Get rid of it... but now I'll have to live with little nipples covering the holes on my bumper lol
