NickNickNick Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Made from non-toxic, non-corrossive material, with a new font which, "makes it easier for law enforcement to detect characters."The S and 5 looked similar. The 4 is the biggest change.The old plates were made of steel, the new ones aluminum. Spoiler New York Rangers. Stanley Cup Champions - 1928, 1933, 1940, 1994. Saskatchewan. Cold. 1905-2022.

-kj Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Easier to tell apart... except that you've made the 4 look more like a 9. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

OMMF Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I would think the pattern of ABC-123 would be enough to tell the characters apart? That's how car license plates in Washington are. That or 123-ABC so there is no way to confuse letters with numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I failed the "reading for comprehension" portion of the program.So, they've actually fixed that. But the 5 looks more like the S in the new one than in the old one.

We've been doing the ABC-123 thing now since I was born, along with the 123-ABC thing more recently...I believe they've just moved back to letters first within the last couple of years. Once a plate is taken out of circulation, it can be reinstated after a period of time, too - the only exception, which makes no sense to me, is the personalized plate, which you cannot even move to a different car if you were to get a new one.
