Haven't been able to find an answer online, so I thought I would ask the fine people at TGN. Does anyone know the Ontario laws about the clear/blue/tinted licence plate covers avalaible at Canadian Tire and other auto parts stores? Are they legal or not?

Re: Licence plate cover laws
The OPP said they were not legal. They said that you can't cover your licence plate.
I don't know why they are still selling them. I also don't know anybody that were ticketed for having one of those. I know some people got warnings..If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.

Plate covers are typically illegal.

Re: Licence plate cover laws
so, you're a police officer or work at traffic court? It's not that I don't belive you, it's just that I'd need some legal proof that i'd get a ticket for my ever so slightly smoke coloured covers.
for those who got tickets or know people who got tickets for this? What kind of car was the person driving? I drive a late model silver CRV - unless I'm speeding or otherwise being a naughty driver, I'm invisible.Last edited by slicendice; Jan 31, 2008, 03:28 PM.Slice.

Re: Licence plate cover laws
they have to be legal if the MTO are selling them. You can buy them at any MTO office and they are blue. But if the shielding becomes scratched or hard to read you have to remove it or replace it.
I also believe their can only be certain colours that are allowed like blue/clear/tinted because my sister almost got a ticket for having her pink covers on.
You never know when the cop wants to be an basturd and give you a ticket for it.-------------------------------
