A driver’s “homemade” licence plate was not an adequate replacement for the real thing, according to Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).
One person was charged on Monday with not having a proper licence after an officer pulled over a vehicle on the streets of Caledonia with a cardboard plate where a real one should be.
“This is no joke,” the officer said in a Twitter post after stopping the offender, who had written the vehicle’s registration number on a small slab with a felt pen.

As of July 1, a fine for not having a plate on a vehicle in Ontario is $85, and another $140 if the plate is not authorized for a specific auto.
