Prior to this year, new cars didn't have any visible registration that a camera could see, and owners of new cars had up to six months to attach the permanent license plates once the car was purchased. That meant, basically, six months of free toll roads for anyone who wanted to test the CHP's ability to catch them. (I won't confirm or deny that I've ever done this).
Starting in January of this year, however, new cars have temporary paper license plates attached to them with the typical top two screw on the back. This, as you can imagine, effectively means that the paper plate flaps in the wind at any speed, and isn't readable anyway.
Ah, that explains why I have seen many 'merican-plated automobiles with no plates.
Moving unplated vehicles in Ontario is an immediate violation and have never known it any other way.
