I was looking over the laws for front placement of plates and the rules appear somewhat confusing. Mitsubishi Evo's and Ralliarts are given left (driver's side) front plates from the dealership to prevent inhibition of air flow with these turboed rally cars. Two of us in our group have been pulled over and given warnings that they are breaking the law but in the end they were not issued a ticket. These two were told that the plate needed to be placed on the front of the bumper. After looking over the laws, all I can seem to find is that the plate needs to be visible to red light cameras, tolls, and photo radar and there is no information that says it needs to be on the front bumper and only that there needs to be a visible plate on the front and the back of the car. How would a person know whether this means that the these cameras are taking pictures of the front, sides, or back of the car? To me this seems to be up to the officer to make a call on maybe what he/she thinks placement should be on maybe what's been the norm in the past of placing plates in the absolute front? One of the guys in our group wants to place the side front plate on the passenger side to cover up some damage and this is what got us all curious. I'm just wondering if this may draw even more attention to the police who have the idea that the plates have to be on the front bumper, which appears unsupported by the actual written law. My questions are theses. 1)- photos from red light cameras, tolls, photo radar(not here in Ontario but could be an issue of driving in another province), do they take pics from the front, back or side or from all angles? 2)-where is it written exactly in the law on that front plates should be in the absolute front of the vehicle? Thanks.

1) Red light cameras take photographs of the rear plate only. I believe the 407 toll cameras operate similarly. 2) Placement of the plates is covered by regulation 628 of the HTA, which states the following: I personally think the off centre placement would still be legal, but I'm not familiar on case law specifics.

9(3) - The number plates for a motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle or a motor assisted bicycle, shall be attached to and exposed in a conspicuous position on the front and rear of the motor vehicle.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
