Licence Plate Snitching Websites are Dirty

 Read in online at Autonet.ca

For this week’s column, I wrote about a new type of website – don’t like how someone is driving? Take a photo of their licence plate and car, upload it to one of these websites, and broadcast what you think for all the world to see.

This is dirty, and really, who are you to judge?

From a distance, someone driving to the hospital while under medical duress, might appear the same as a drunk driver. Not linking to those sites.

Favourite lines:

All so you can what, be a tattle-tale? A budget vigilante?

and:

2 of my favourite internet lines – ‘the internet is forever’ & ‘Google never forgets’

I was in Oregon with Acura when this printed, so being 3 hours behind I woke up to discover this column was a topic on the radio show AM 640!

(non-Toronto people, this is one of the most popular talk-radio shows)

A Little More on License Plate Brackets

Maybe the nicest I’ve ever seen.

I wrote about licence plate brackets last week (they’re tacky, and need to be removed), that’s where this post is coming from.

Wish I’d had the above photo then, it would have been the perfect one to print.

Here’s two motorcycle examples.

Best.

Tucked up under the seat, still visible, but, doesn’t interrupt the lines of the bike. I can’t vouch for the legality of this.

This is a little try-too-hard.

Maybe there’s a reason the plate can’t be under the seat, I don’t know it, still not into this look.

 

 

Remove the License Plate Brackets

Those plastic, flimsy things emblazoned with a dealership’s name… they have to go.

Favourite line:

… the worst offenders seem to be exotic car owners. Play a game today: spot an exotic withOUT one.

Looks sloppy and unfinished.

 

See how much better it looks when removed?
Clean, polished, finished.
