If his car wasn't Smurf blue, he would have gotten away with it.

Troll.

The politicians are never going to get rid of that piece of reflective metal on the front of the car that probably accounts for 95% of all infraction-generated revenue by the local constabulary. It's a hell of lot easier to pick off speeders from a distance by pointing the laser at the front plate than any other part of the car.

Guess you're right. Who am I kidding.
As if they would ever give us what we want especially when Tory has a hard-on for car enthusiasts. Loud exhaust apparently means making up for other inadequacies.

Like that 19 year old that got clocked doing 24xkm/h on the 403 near Oakville last week while test driving his buddy's car? He should have tried this further down the 403, between Brantford and Woodstock.

With the addition of more and more intersection cameras, front plates are here to stay.

Does that mean you get a pass to run without front plates for 6 months or do they just expect you to have another set of plates in the mean time? Nice plate btw!
