Why aren’t they white like in lots of JohnnyForeigner countries? Looks better with 98.74% of colours....

Re: Rear plates UK
The Dutch have yellow plates on the front. That always makes my brain confused about why the car is travelling backwards so quickly.

It's so you can tell which way an Audi TT is pointing.

From the Sunday Times
"We spoke to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) and were told the reason for the two colours is so that drivers can tell which is the front or back of a vehicle simply by glancing at the numberplate, and therefore whether it is likely to be moving towards or away from them. Yellow was chosen because it provides the biggest colour contrast, after white, with the black lettering."

Re: Rear plates UK
They should have stuck with black and silver.

Yeah, when looking to see if a car is moving closer or further away from me there’s usually a better clue in the form of an actual car actually moving closer or further away...
How about not having a sig at all?

Re: Rear plates UK
Nothing on the front, any agreed colour combo on the back would be my preference..
