I really hate to piss on the thread, but online petitions go no where.

It's a very weak way of trying to get the governments attention.

Front plates are good so that they take the impact of those who can't park and protects the bumper skin...

not to rain on this parade as everyone has a right to their opinion and to express their issues.

but is life so boring that this is such a big downer? to have this as an issue? far more important issues to petition. this change would have significant impact to everyone's quality of life?

wish i had your problems. if only we could trade issues with others. i'd gladly take this on in return to have all my burdens taken away.

Can you please enlighten me? Other then about 10 people in Ontario who are crying about this law, who else truly gives a ****, and who else has truly been affected NEGATIVELY by this law.

I actually think this law is great.

Why is this law great?

Because they are adding more and more CCTVs in Toronto, which means that those who commit fellony offences, and other criminals, have a much higher chance of being caught on camera with BOTH plates.

Which means, 2 plates being caught on camera are easier to read then just 1. Also increases the likelihood that a plate will be caught on camera.

This also reduces the excuses that "one of my plates was covered in dust sir." The chance that both of your plates are covered in "dust" is fairly low.
