I have a Europlate and a BC plate on mounted on the front of my car, I got a ticket for "More than one front plate" 3.011(a).
Im wondering if this violation is actually valid? because I always see taxis with more than just the front plate as well.

I can feel safer at night because you were ticketed for properly displaying your BC plate and a europlate... because europlates promote terrorism! :thumbsup:

I don't know what your problem is but the officer is just doing his job.

If he sees someone breaking the law, then he stops it and issues a fine (as punishment). I'm certain that if he saw a robbery in process or a murder, he would do the same thing.

*edit
You saying something like that is like saying "oh cops should only solve major crimes and forget everything else". They DO solve/investigate major crimes and small ones as well. "fighting the good fight" isn't only restricted to major things. Imagine everyone running around breaking "small" crimes. The world would be a lot worse.

Topic covered many times. Illegal.

I did a search, all the topics here are about "no front plate" or "cutting plates" or "plate in the window".

My plate was displayed at the front of my vehicle, vertical to the ground unobstructed.

3.011(a)

3.011 Number plates issued for a vehicle under the Commercial Transport Act or Motor Vehicle Act must be attached

(a) one plate to the front and one plate to the rear of the vehicle, if 2 number plates are issued for a vehicle, and

(b) to the rear of the vehicle, if a single number plate is issued for a vehicle.
It states that if two plates are issued, one must be at the front and one in the rear. I have that fulfilled.

I would have used 13 (1)(c) of the MV Act instead as it is specific.

Offences
13 (1) A person commits an offence if the person drives, operates, parks or is in charge of a motor vehicle or trailer on a highway

(a) without the licence required by this Act for the operation of that motor vehicle or trailer having been first obtained and being then in force,

(b) without displaying on it, in the manner prescribed, the number plates issued or designated by the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia or otherwise prescribed to be displayed on that motor vehicle or trailer for the current licence year of that motor vehicle or trailer, or

This is why someone gets pulled over for something (I am not saying in this instance) whilst on one corner a drug deal is happening, which is something that violates the CRIMINAL CODE OF CANADA!!!! Explain to me how this officer is bettering society by harassing a driver who has a NOVELTY europlate while displaying CORRECTLY his front plate?! If he was running no front plate I would not be commenting on this but given the fact that the plate is being displayed, unobstructed is what really gets me going. I see countless dangerous acts being committed by drivers in front of PO's and nothing gets done. Why can you walk around in possession of illicit, illegal substances (I am not in agreement with possession being illegal but the point stands) and nothing is done about it, BUT if you have a europlate with the correct plate or other pointless violations (tint front plate) do you need to take 20 plus minutes of a PO's time to deal with something that affects no one else (kind of like the argument made to decriminalize possession of drugs its all the same).

and how does it violate 13 (1)(C) if he is displaying his ICBC issued plate in the manner prescribed?! This section would be used when someone is ONLY displaying a plate that is not supposed to be there?! At least that is how I interpret the law... :confused:

[zulutango]

You or I don't interpret the laws...the Traffic Court JPs and Lawyers do.
The wording is quite clear.."other than those issued or designated by the Insurance Corporation of BC"...the Eurofake plate is not either designed or issued by ICBC. In certain circles...that type of illegal mod is known as a "heat seeker" :)

How does this work for commercial plates then? I'm just curious as I have one issued by the city of Vancouver for my work vehicle. I was given it with no documentation or information about the governing rules or restrictions.

[Rich Sandor]

Commercial Plates (and any other plate officially issued to you by the government) are allowed to be (supposed to be, actually) displayed alongside your normal plate.

NO OTHER PLATES ARE ALLOWED.

DECORATIVE PLATES ARE ILLEGAL.

end of story.

[Rich Sandor]

I ran with this plate for a little while on my red car, for the cool factor, but I got tired of "waiting to get busted for it" so I've gone legal and put olympic plates front & rear on my car now.

For the most part a traffic officer pulls over the first offence he sees, writes a ticket, and then moves on to the next offence. His primary job is to enforce the Motor Vehicle Act, whereas members in other sections are specifically focusing on Criminal Code offences. Is that offence going to be the most serious offence on the road at the time? Not always, but that traffic cop is only one person and can only deal with one person at a time. That being said, if something of a higher priority does come up, that officer will likely drop what he is doing and move onto the higher priority event.

Your argument about how you can walk around with illicit substances and nothing is done about it is also flawed. As a regular member of the general public, your view of the police is what you see on a day to day basis and what the general public sees on a day to day basis is generally traffic stops. On any given day when I am off duty I see at least a couple of cars pulled over when driving around town just because it is easy to see. It is usually in the middle of a busy place and there are flashing red and blue lights. And even if there is a drug seizure in that traffic stop, you as the general public only view it as simply a traffic stop because you don't know exactly what is going on there. There is a lot more stuff that goes on everyday that you don't see. Do you ever go from crack shack to crack shack in your city to see what police are doing there? I go to the crack shacks in Richmond everyday to find out what is going on, to talk to the chronic offenders to get intel on who is doing what around town, to look for stolen property, etc. Even though I do it everyday, the general public does not see that for obvious reasons even though they see me giving out the one ticket I gave out all day and going for my one lunch/coffee break that I take in my 12 hour shift.

There are also all of the plain clothes sections you don't see. There is serious crime, drug section, Marajuana enforcement team, property crime, the list goes on. Those are teams of people working on specifically those problems around the clock, but again, you never see or hear about them. I don't know the exact numbers, but I bet serious crime section in Richmond has 5 to 10 times as many members as traffic section does.

This ticket for the two front plates, is it saving a life? Probably not. Is it getting drugs off of the street? Probably not. Do I know why you can't have a novelty plate on the front of your car? I don't know the exact reasons. Have I ever written a ticket for that? No. The one thing I do know is that laws are enforced, no matter how minor they are. The fact that he did not know it was illegal, he could probably dispute the ticket and have the fine reduced substantially if he takes the extra plate off of his car and explains the situation to the judge. I know it takes time out of his day, but at least there are checks and balances in our system for the people who truly were not wilfully breaking the law.

[Berzerker]

What constitutes a "plate"? If someone where to have Decals where the stock Euro plate would go that "look" like a plate would that too be illegal? Just tossing it out there because I'm curious.

Berz out.

[alex.w *//]

all i can contribute to this thread is nice bc plate numbers :D

[Slab_Ryda]

If that plate is illegal, couldn't you get a sticker made of that exact euro plate and stick it to your front bumper? I saw a person with a sticker of the euro plate stuck to the front of his new BMW, talked to him about it and he said he got comments from the police for it all the time, but no ticket because it was a sticker. From someone elses point of view, a sticker would look the same a as euro plate unless they stop and stare at it....

Didnt see that part of the MVA, well I guess I'm wrong then.
Thanks for the clarification.

Yup. I had RS stickers on my car too, but it all rubbed off when i was clearing snow off my car.

And thats what the cop did. He was on a motorcycle, drove up beside my car and leaned over to look at the plate.

[Soundy]

yes the law states one in the front. you have 2 in the front. therefor you are breaking the law....

Actually, he's not.
3.011 Number plates issued for a vehicle under the Commercial Transport Act or Motor Vehicle Act must be attached

(a) one plate to the front and one plate to the rear of the vehicle, if 2 number plates are issued for a vehicle, and

(b) to the rear of the vehicle, if a single number plate is issued for a vehicle.

It states that IF two plates are issued, one OF THOSE must be on the front and one on the back... it doesn't say a thing about any other plates, let alone prohibiting them.

The section 13(1)(c) quoted by zulutango would apply here... but I think if I were RCubed here, I'd be disputing a charge under 3.011(a), because as skidmark notes, he has indeed fulfilled that section of the regulations.

It may be a technicality, but hey, nobody should make excuses for doing a half-assed job or guessing at details. If a home builder has plans that says a wall of a house has to be 6'10" high, he can't just arbitrarily round it off to 7' - if he gets away with it regularly, eventually he'll end up with a crooked house and some serious problems.

I don't agree with people disputing on stupid things, like hoping the cop won't show up or other things that just waste the court's time, but at the same time when a cop is in error, he needs to be held accountable just like anyone else in their jobs.

Yes, the plate is illegal... but the CHARGE is also for something RCubed *is not* guilty of. It's no more valid than if it had been written for a broken tail light.

I think the one other bit of advice skidmark would give, is not to tell the cop beforehand what your planned defense is, as the ticket can still be amended before court. Play your cards close to your chest and only reveal them before the JJP.

[Type-SIR]

i have no plates in front of my car just on my windshield for 3 years and i never got a ticket.

Lots of people speed regularly and never get a ticket either... then act all shocked and bewildered and outraged when they do finally get nailed.

Just because you've been lucky, doesn't mean the law doesn't apply to you too.

[sho_bc]

Read through this thread and educate yourself. There are several quotations of the appropriate Motor Vehicle Act section answering your question. You don't think that ICBC issues you a 2nd plate to hang and frame on your wall, do you?

[Rich Sandor]

You must display each and every plate that you are issued, and only in the directed fashion.

If you were not "issued" the plate, you must not display it.

Just because you see people "getting away with it" does NOT mean it's okay.

Dealer-plates, repair-plates, and transporter-plates are issued singularly, ergo they only have 1 plate to display.

Technically Alpi's and PGP are still violating 13.1(c), correct?

On another note, I spotted a silver 330ci today on 4th and Arbutus with ONLY Europlates- front and rear. It was a old lady driving it too. Is it possible to be driving around town with insurance from Europe? Maybe it was a consulate car?

[Rich Sandor]

Is it possible to be driving around town with insurance from Europe?

Yes, but it is EXTREMELY rare. There was a factory SEAT Leon in Yaletown on a 6 month conditional visit. (SEAT is a spanish brand, not sold in North America)

No. Consul plates are red, but same size as BC plates.

(b) to the rear of the vehicle, if a single number plate is issued for a vehicle.

[zulutango]

Either charge would fit. The interesting thing is that it is cheaper ($109) to run no plate than it is to have an obstructed one ($196).

[urban.boi]

what if the car is register in AB and insurance is also AB and the driver driver liscense is from AB? would it result in a ticket as well for having the Europlate in the front? (since AB doesnt issue out a front plate.)

[zulutango]

My question would be...is it legal to have a second plate that appears to be a plate, but isn't, on a car in Alberta? If it is and you were only visiting BC and NOT "ordnarily resident", then it would be legal. As long as you car is legal in the province where it is registered and there are no safety concerns, then it is legal in BC ...while you visit, not while you live here.

Would being a student here in BC be classify as an "ordnarily resident?" I've only have about 1 year left of study here in BC, than I will be back in AB.

[zulutango]

In short...yes IF......you must do what it says here....apply for the exemption WITHIN THE FIRST 30 DAYS OF YOUR ARRIVAL IN BC. If you do NOT, you do NOT qualify for this exemption and therefore must register your vehicle in BC. Read this..
Registration of foreign motor vehicles and trailers
21 (1) The owner of a motor vehicle or trailer

(a) that is duly registered outside British Columbia,

(b) for which the licensing requirements of the jurisdiction in which it is registered are fulfilled, and

(c) that has displayed on it the registration number plates of that jurisdiction for the current year, or is a trailer that is designed exclusively to carry one axle of a motor vehicle for the purpose of towing that motor vehicle behind another motor vehicle and is from a jurisdiction that does not issue registration number plates for that type of trailer,

is exempt from the requirements to register and license the motor vehicle or trailer under this Act, if

(d) the owner or operator of the motor vehicle or trailer is in British Columbia for, and uses the motor vehicle or trailer for, touring purposes only, for a period of 6 months, or

(e) the owner or operator of the motor vehicle or trailer is in British Columbia for, and uses the motor vehicle or trailer for, other than touring purposes, for a period of 30 days

from the date he or she began to operate the motor vehicle or trailer on a highway in British Columbia.

(2) If a motor vehicle or trailer is owned by a person resident outside British Columbia who has complied with the laws of his or her place of residence with respect to the registration and licensing of the motor vehicle or trailer and the motor vehicle or trailer has displayed on it the registration number plates for the current year assigned under those laws for that motor vehicle or trailer and is brought into British Columbia

(a) for temporary use by a member of Her Majesty's Armed Forces on temporary posting in British Columbia for training purposes only for a period not exceeding 6 months, or

(b) by a person for the period that the person is registered as a full time student at and attends any of the following educational institutions:

(i) a university, as defined in the University Act;

(ii) an institution, as defined in the College and Institute Act;

(iii) [Repealed 2004-33-21.]

(iv) the University of Northern British Columbia;

(v) [Repealed 2002-35-9.]

(v.1) the Thompson Rivers University;

(vi) Royal Roads University;

(vii) the Open Learning Agency;

(viii) any other educational institution in the Province that is authorized under an enactment to grant degrees or is designated under section 3 (1) (a) of the Canada Student Financial Assistance Act,

then, at the earliest opportunity and in any event not later than 30 days after the motor vehicle or trailer is brought into British Columbia, the owner must cause the motor vehicle or trailer to be registered with the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia by delivering to the corporation, a government agent or a person authorized in writing by the corporation to receive it a notice in the form required by the corporation and by giving proof of financial responsibility under sections 106 to 113.

(3) The Lieutenant Governor in Council may order that the owner of a motor vehicle or trailer who gives proof of financial responsibility to the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia under sections 106 to 113 is, for a period the Lieutenant Governor in Council specifies, and subject to conditions set out in the order, exempt from the requirements to register or license the motor vehicle or trailer under this Act.

(4) On receipt of the notice in the form required by the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia and proof of financial responsibility, and on being satisfied of the truth of the facts stated in the notice, the corporation must cause to be issued to the owner a certificate of registration in the form established by the corporation, together with a windshield sticker of a design approved by the corporation.

(5) The motor vehicle or trailer, with the sticker conspicuously displayed on the lower part of its windshield in the case of a motor vehicle other than a motorcycle, while being used by the owner within British Columbia for the purpose mentioned in subsection (2) during the period named in the certificate is deemed sufficiently registered and licensed for the purposes of this Act.

(6) A motor vehicle or trailer is not, merely because of compliance with this section, deemed to be sufficiently registered and licensed for the purposes of this Act for a longer period than that allowed by the law of the owner's place of residence for the operation there without local registration or licence of touring motor vehicles and trailers registered and licensed in British Columbia, but this subsection does not apply to permits issued under subsection (2).

(7) A person commits an offence who

(a) drives or operates a motor vehicle or trailer on a highway

(i) after the period of 6 months permitted in subsection (1) (d),

(ii) after the period of 30 days permitted in subsection (1) (e),

(b) makes a false statement in a notice given by him or her for the purposes of this section,

(c) being in possession of a motor vehicle or trailer for which a certificate of registration has been issued under this section, and being requested by a peace officer or constable to exhibit the certificate, refuses or fails to do so,

(d) fails to give proof of financial responsibility under subsection (2), or

(e) 30 days or more after entry into British Columbia of a motor vehicle or trailer that is required to be registered under subsection (2) but in respect of which notice has not been delivered in accordance with subsection (2), drives or operates the motor vehicle or trailer on a highway.
