Quebec has now made it illegal to have a clear plastic license plate protector over the top of your plate. Apparently the speed and red light cameras cannot read the plate properly when one is in place. Minimum fine $250 for the first time then the fines ramp up to just over $4000 for a multi time offender. The local BMW dealer has been giving them away with every car sold for years and has now had to inform all customers that they are illegal.
Who said it is not about the money.
But i thought
[quote=wongman1I bought my photoshield only for toll booths incorrectly taking my picture when my transponder does not register. Of course Im doing the speed limit thru there and also have a credit card on file for autopay. So why should I waste an hour of my time to deal with fixing a problem of theirs? It takes over $100 to process that notification that is sent to me. Im doing you and all the other tax payers a favor by having my plate cover.
If we all did our part and had plate covers, it would eventually add up and help prevent raising toll costs.
Itd be interesting to see the data on false photo shots.
I thought you were supposed to verify the system had correctly read your transponder BEFORE you left the toll plaza. All the toll plazas I go through with the exception of the open road systems all have a light that turns green or a message shows that I have paid my toll. Otherwise you are to wait until the authority gives you permission to move ahead. Sit at a toll booth for more than 30 seconds and see how fast they come running to check on the problem.

Same in Texas
In Delaware your not even allowed to have a Frame around the plate.
This also illegal in Texas.
Easy to check . . .
to check your photo-guard plate protector or spray, take a digital camera and take several pictures at different distances from your plate, with and without flash.
