Thread: Colored Rego plates - Almost invisible

Have noticed a lot of vehicles recently where the rego plates are using coloured letters on a black background. My first thoughts we surely they can't be legal as you can't read the letters unless you are a few metres away.
I have good eyesight and don't need glasses yet but I could not read the rego plate on a ute in front of me this morning once he moved one car length in front. Great for the owner as he may escape fixed camera's and toll's etc but what about other road users identifying the car if he's involved in a hit and run etc.
Anyway it seems that in NSW at least they are more interested in profit from selling the plates than they are about the visibility of them.

Attached is a pic of the ute with a plate using blue lettering on a black background hence almost invisible when compared with the vehicle with standard plates which is even further away.

What about this for a plate. Still available and plenty reflective.
