My biggest issues is these kids do this in a school parking lot. A parking lot that sees many young people pass through it during the day some some at night (school yard party'ers). I don't want to see people get hurt.
As for the no plate on the front, there are advantages to it of course, but $14million dollars worth? The people on here will not like them due to the asthetics of them on there cars, I agree with that totally but I also see other advantages of this that will effect every tax payer.
Regardless of all this banter, the fact of the matter is we have front plates, your cars have front plate mounting points....put the front plate in them and save yourself the worry of getting tagged for not having one.

The thing is though, you don't know everything behind their reason for having a front plate. I don't disagree that ICBc may be making money as that is what they do. But charging people for lost or stolen plates prevents most people from;
Keeping the plates
Switching plates when they get tickets from private lots
And whatever other reasons people may have for not returning or trying to scam whatever system
The biggest pro, IMO, is being able to identify a vehicle from both the front and the back. I don't know the stats but I'm pretty sure majority of the provinces require front and rear plates. Just because Alberta does it one way, doesn't mean we should. Heck, it's the home of flames and oilers for jeebssake!
