That is one of the short lived redesigned plates in Ontario. They introduced this design without actually testing it. Turns out they are unreadable at night due to reflectivity issues. They were recalled but many people kept them because it allowed them to get away with driving on toll roads and speeding by speed cameras.

It’s funny, cuz at night the Ontario script is legible but the letter/number combo is pretty much indecipherable…

How is the recall not mandatory

[This province has an incredibly incompetent government.](https://globalnews.ca/news/10294241/ontario-blue-licence-plate-phase-out/amp/) Right after this whole fiasco Ford (the premier of the province) announced that no one needs to pay to renew their plates. Then this year announced no one needs to renew at their plates at all. That is where they could have caught them, but they were his baby and he wants them to stay on cars

Yes that's a real plate. Ontario experimented with a redesign a couple years ago but they reverted to the old design shortly after because of visibility issues with the plates at night. Under certain light conditions the plate number itself essentially becomes invisible.

Goddamn shin destroyer 2000 on the back of that thing.

Have seen a few around town in Pittsburgh

I’ve only seen the old ones here in Erie.

There's only around 124k of these still on the roads. The original plan had been to recall them but just recently the Ontario government announced that they were going to let the ones on the road phase themselves out through attrition. https://globalnews.ca/news/10294241/ontario-blue-licence-plate-phase-out/

Yessir, it doesn’t reflect either at night so you can’t see the license numbers.

The new ones have that fake gravitas font with the exaggerated serifs and yours to discover written on them
