No thanks. I live in Northern Virginia where the rate of cars getting keyed goes up immeasurably if you have a GOP type bumper sticker on it.
Those are revenue-sharing plates, which provide the state and a beneficiary organization a portion of the money generated after the first 1,000 plates are issued.
That’s not the case with the “Don’t Tread On Me” plates.
I note the AUTHOR of the article doesn’t bother to explain why that’s NOT THE CASE with these Plates. I have a feeling the author is trying to FOOL THE READERS.
Does anyone have any info on why these plates wouldn’t be subject to the same methodology used for the other plates?
I put standard-issue license plates on all my vehicles; no specialty plates and definitely no vanity plates (well, apart from the 'PIT BIK' plate on the YSR 50 -- but it doesn't get ridden on the street all that much). I do not go in for custom paint jobs or any other modifications which might make a vehicle stand out in a crowd.
I do not even put bumper stickers on my cars. Apart from the single, 1.5"-2.0” Diameter “Steal Your Face” logo which I affix to every vehicle I own, and an occasional Virginia Tech window sticker in those of the 4-wheeled persuasion, there are no decorations of any kind on my vehicles.
Given the speeds at which I often travel, I find it difficult enough avoiding the wrong kind of attention as it is, without openly advertising my hostility towards big government every where I go.
