David Amos Methinks I should reveal at closing time what the most comical part of this article in to me N'esy Pas?
In a nutshell lets just say that I doubt that Chief Wayne Gallant will
vote for me in the next Federal Election. However he certainly knows
that when it comes to my concerns about their severe lack of integrity
the cops in New Brunswick have a lot more to be worried about than front
licence plates. Gallant and his former RCMP boss Roger Brown who is
now the Chief of Fat Fred City Finest had lots of time to study my
lawsuit against the Crown in 2015 before they retired. Trust that the
cops are gonna love my next lawsuit against the Crown which I will file
while running for a seat in Parliament again.

RCMP in Fat Fred City Pt 1
Ian Scott Well it is a climate crisis right. Think of all the aluminum smelting you have saved.Lol.
After I just received 2 stickers for registration renewal. By the way
if a bus would put a camera on the front it sees the back plate if you
pass it just like the 407 in Toronto. They seem to do just fine with
one. Since there are no traffic cops in NB, unlike PQ , that actually
watch traffic, and I mean not bothering the folks on Sunday morning on
the bypass but actually in town at intersections it won't matter.

Reply to @Ian Scott:
Methinks according to this article the Powers that Be in NB had quit the
notice registration renewal year ago to save some money Hence its is no
longer our fault if we don't look at our plates now and then to check
the date on the stickers I believe Quebec even got rid of the stickers
years ago N'esy Pas?
Expired vehicle registration case thrown out

Based
on the comments, it looks like most New Brunswickers have no problems
paying double for license plates or vehicle registrations. I wonder what
other fast ones the province can pull on people here.
David Amos Reply
to @John Moore: Methinks a lot of poor old folks are paying double on
their property taxes if they visit an old folks home for a few months
before dying instead of going to Florida for 6 months a year every year
like the wealthy ones do N'esy Pas?
Val Harris Two
huge bills in the spring legislature.. one license plate and mvi every 2
years.. but what will the prices be to renewal.. is safety no concern..
the peoples alliance will go down in history as a one term party and
the two dumbest moves ever.. peoples safety is worth more then 35 bucks a
year.. but hey Austin doesn't care...Higgs you will pay also for
following this misinformed path

Polls say YOU'RE WRONG ! Problems with MVI's is the forged stickers
and the fake inspections . You should know all about them ! Nova Scotia
has 2 year MVI's and they work great ! Many companies actually get Nova
Scotia MVI's and plates to avoid the annual NB MVI's . This could be a
cash cow in the end for NB.

Front licence plates will be scrapped by July 15 despite safety concerns
Changes to annual motor vehicle inspections pending and changes to annual registrations also being considered
Public
Safety Minister Carl Urquhart said he expects eliminating front plates
to be revenue-neutral for the province and won't save money for
motorists because the $50 fee for two plates will remain the same for
one. (CBC)
Front licence plates in New Brunswick will be taking a permanent vacation this summer.
The
government is eliminating the requirement for front plates on passenger
and light commercial vehicles, effective July 15, Public Safety
Minister Carl Urquhart announced on Tuesday.
"It's what the people wanted," he said during a news conference in Fredericton.
It
won't save vehicle owners or the government money, said Urquhart. The
current $50 fee motorists pay for two plates will remain the same for
one and it will be "almost revenue neutral" for the province.
It will, however, spare them "the annoyance" of having front plates, he said.
The
province is also planning to do away with annual motor vehicle
inspections, likely this fall, said Urquhart. New vehicles won't require
any inspection for the first three years. All other vehicles will be
inspected every two years.
It's not government's responsibility to tell you whether your vehicle is safe.- Carl Urquhart, public sfaety minister
"We
feel it's about time to make that change," he said. "I was there when
we brought in inspections and the old cars we had on the road back then
needed them every year. The old Ford rusted out pretty quick."
New
vehicles are manufactured to a higher standard, he said,
and inspections, which cost $35 a year, only provide a "snapshot" of a
vehicle on the day they're conducted.
"I'm a firm believer if
you've got a motor vehicle on the highway, that motor vehicle is your
responsibility, it's not government's responsibility to tell you whether
your vehicle is safe."
Changes
to annual vehicle registrations are also being considered, said
Urquhart. The People's Alliance has been pushing for one-time
registration for all privately owned passenger vehicles.
But that could cost the province about $59 million in lost revenue, according to the minister.
It's
"too big a hit right now," he said, adding he's willing to sit down
with with People's Alliance this summer to look at possible legislation
for the fall.
Only required in 3 provinces
The
Tories had announced plans to eliminate front licence plates in March
when the provincial budget was presented, but a rollout date wasn't set.
The
New Brunswick Association of Chiefs of Police and the school bus
drivers' union have both criticized the move saying it will
diminish public safety.
Urquhart, a former police officer,
downplayed the importance of front plates as a policing tool, noting
other provinces have already eliminated them.
Only Ontario, British Columbia and Manitoba still require front licence plates on passenger vehicles.
The
change only applies to vehicles weighing less than 4,500 kilograms.
Tractor trailers, buses, school buses, fire trucks, dump trucks and
bucket trucks will still be required to display front and back plates. (Maria Jose Burgos/ CBC)
Urquhart
also downplayed any risks, saying they are "well outweighed" by the
government following through on what New Brunswickers said they wanted.
"Most vehicles aren't designed anymore for front licence plates. It's hard to get them on there," he said.
The government is looking at installing cameras on school buses to protect against motorists speeding through loading zones
Police chiefs concerned
Kennebecasis
Regional Police Force Chief Wayne Gallant, who is the president of the
New Brunswick Association of Chiefs of Police, contends public safety
should trump the interests of antique car collectors and lobby groups
who pushed to do away with front plates. (Kennebecasis Regional Police Force)
Wayne
Gallant, president of the chiefs' association and chief of
the Kennebecasis Regional Police Force, has said front licence
plates have helped with amber alerts, national security emergencies and
stolen vehicle cases. Many hit-and-run crashes have been solved because
of a front licence plate, he said.
Front plates are also a useful
tool in cases where drivers illegally pass school buses when their red
lights are flashing, said Gallant.
"It's going to make the job of a
school bus driver all that more complicated and make prosecuting these
serious offences more complicated," he said.
Bus drivers, who are
already busy ensuring children are getting on and off the bus safely,
will now have to try to get a description of the vehicle as well as the
driver.
'Utterly ridiculous'
Brien Watson, president of CUPE 1253, has described the decision to scrap front plates as "utterly ridiculous."
He
said the number of drivers who illegally pass school buses has reached
"epidemic" proportions and removing the front plates will make it even
easier for offenders.
The
move to single plates was pushed by the People's Alliance, whose three
members have been supporting the PCs in the legislature.
People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin has called the change "reason for celebration."
Premier Blaine Higgs also promised to drop front plates when he was campaigning for election last September.
Seasonal plates program ends Nov. 1
Once
the change takes effect, vehicle owners can either continue to display
their front plate or drop it off at a Service New Brunswick location.
They will also have the option of displaying a novelty plate at the front of their vehicles instead.
The change only applies to vehicles weighing less than 4,500 kilograms.
Tractor
trailers, buses, school buses, fire trucks, dump trucks and bucket
trucks will still be required to display front and back plates.
The
seasonal plate program will be cancelled, starting on Nov. 1. The
registered owners of vehicles with seasonal plates will receive details
about how they can replace their plates, officials said.
