Are vertical license plates legal in Ontario?

It is NOT illegal to mount your plate vertically in Ontario Canada. I got this right from the OPP traffic manager by contacting them through their web site:Section 13 of the Highway Traffic Act of Ontario relates to vehicle license plates. Subsection 2 specifically states, in part, "...and shall be affixed so that the entire number plate, including the numbers, is plainly visible at all times..." Common sense would dictate you do not alter the license plate mount, but to answer your question, there is nothing in the Highway Traffic Act which states you cannot mount your license plate on the back of your motorcycle vertically. The Act only states the plate must be clearly visible at all times.
