Good luck, what a nuisance! We have them here, after my wife got two consecutive tickets we finally put hers on (after 22 months without it). Then about 3 weeks later she got hit head on, totaling the car.
Anyway, on her new (replacement) car, I zip tied it up behind the bumper cover in front of the lower section of the radiator. It is barley visible and probably illegal. It just ruins the whole front of the car, sucks to run screws into a plastic bumper on a BRAND new vehicle to attach an obnoxious license plate holder.

Just another excuse to spend money where it doesn't have to be spent.
I guess with a second plate, they can ding us some more for our yearly registration renewal also.

A couple of years back, I was driving out to Victoria and I got stopped outside Abbotsford by the RCMP...The officer came to my window to get my DL ins. and reg. then returned to his car,...I had no idea why he had stopped me at this point (4AM) He then returned to my truck and started to explain the ticket he was about to issue me...No front plate??? I interupted him mid sentence explaining to him that we don't require nor recieve a front plate in Alberta...there was a long pause followed by him returning to his car to verify what I had just relayed to him...he returned yet again about 5 min's later, handed me back my reg,ins,DL and told me to have a good trip

Thanks for the link to the survey. Gave me a chance to vote for one plate only. I also was stopped in BC in September on Hwy 5 near Clearwater. The officer was passing me and flipped on his lights, I pulled into a PetroCanada and waited for him. He turned around an caught up to where I had stopped. When he approached the window I asked him if I missed a speed limit sign. He told me I was having a good day and I could carry on. Never admitted he actually pulled me over for no front plate. I think the picture changed when he pulled up behind me and I had an Alberta plate!
I hope BC loses front plates before I move back. Hate to spoil the front of my 300.
