Their new process of making plates is crap, if my personalized plates ever peel I'll be really pissed, so I try to keep them protected for that reason with covers on both plates. I also put a coat of Menzerna powerlock sealant on them once a year for added protection against water and UV rays. |
Never had a issue.
Don't worry... Just drive. |
I've had smoked covers on all my cars for years and have never had an issue... but I think cops in London are more lenient about that stuff here.

I can send you the products and have you use them yourself though :) |

So I am EB on Bloor Street headed to Dundas Street West where I signal to make a right. Line up of cars in the left lane including a police cruiser. I am in the rh lane, as I approach he sees me and right away gets in behind me. I make a perfectly legal turn, he follows me and as soon as he makes the turn hits his lights and pulls me over. Keep in mind I am 50. So he basically states that he has pulled me over due to my illegal smoked covers on the S2000. I think he just wanted to run my licence and give me a hard time because I was in a great car :surprised: . He comes back, states that I have a spotless record (Mainly sheer luck!) and lets me off with a fake ticket which is just a warning. Here is the kicker. It is now in their database as the fake ticket has all my info. So, if I get pulled over again for this BS law, I can now fined with the $115 ticket. When he returns, I state, politely that 1 out of every 3 cars going by has covers. His reply "I pull over as many as I can".
Our tax dollars HARD at work. :banghead: |
