New license plates

[GvilleSC]

I haven't seen one of the new plates yet. Does it have the stupid website listed at the bottom?

[Captain Worley]

I should be getting mine sometime this week.

Travel2SC? lol omg rolf!

[krazeeboi]

Well, I guess it's time for me to officially have my car registered in NC.

Do people actually go to those sites? Like if im driving in Virginia and somebody sees my SC plate. "oh, let me go home and type in that address." I've never done that for Florida (i think they have one as well as Georgia), I've seen it so much, but don't actually remember the addresses

They won't go if they never see it

There has been worse:

Louisiana's 1957 plates were yellow characters on a lavender/purple background. Michigan in the early 70s went with white on yellow. British Columbia once did purple on pink, followed by purple on turqoise blue. Delaware's been using the mustard yellow on a dark blue/green background since 1959. Georgia had peach/pink characters on an olive green background for a spell in the 60s.

And there is this ancient, horrible monstrosity, a potato having some sort of painful brain explosion at the center:

The "I Believe" license plates have been rejected by a federal judge as unconstitutional. What more is there to say?

The State

[GvilleSC]

So what now? They reject it as a tag proposed by legislature, and thus a group of citizens will use their signatures to demand the tag. Isn't that the problem? The fact that the legislature brought this tag into existence? Clearly, if they've already received 'hundreds of orders', the demand will be there for a petition of the tag's creation. It seems inevitable.

If not, will we also see the "In God We Trust" tag also taken away? Is the state supporting monotheistic religions over others?

[Captain Worley]

Tags oughta be white letters over a solid background, period. That makes it easier for LEOs to read the tag. All these pretty tags are nice and all, but the tag is supposed to be an easily read plate.

Too much effort is being tied up with this I Believe plate...

[GvilleSC]

Speaking of easy to read plates, has anyone else noticed that the new plates' "Q" look like O's from any distance other than maybe 10 feet away? It could just be me, but they should just omit the Q, IMO.

Does this mean there's no need for me to go around taking orders and collecting money for SCDOT to make a plate with an oak tree, a crescent moon, a caulderon and some fairies for us pagans?

[Spartan]

I for one hope this ruling prevails, and maybe the legislators will think twice about their next "brilliant idea" for a license plate, and actually do something like govern.
