Hello Jon

Actually you were given the wrong advise. Yes must be a small town.

It is against the law in Ontario to display any plates on your vehicle other than those registered for it (Except for parades and displays) and in addition to the fine the plates could be seized.

Plus you must have both plates attached to your vehicle in a proper manner.

Therefore, there are two very good reason for a traffic stop.

In addition the Military police may stop you for having DND plates displayed.

I encourage MV collectors to follow the rules pertaining to plates within their own state, province etc. If the display plates get misused it will ruin it for all of the MV owners.

you can look up the law yourself on e-laws ontario.

Besides Provincial law i am sure there is a Federal law pertaining to the use of DND plates as well.

There are ways to get around the system, you can buy year of manufacture plates and have them registered for your vehicle,( these are original Ontario plates produced the year of your vehicle) or buy a vanity plate with your CFR number on it.

Yes this will cost you more money up front but it will save you and other MV owners some grief in the long haul.

thanks
Eric
