Yep, I'm sure lots of crooks drive old cars. From what I see on TV here in
NY all the car chases in CA involve p/ups and SUVs and Camaros. They seem to
attract all those criminal types.
I bet the gold lettered ones are even more attractive as they are similar to
the teeth of the perps.
Thank God for clear thinking politicians and their eagerness to protect us
from criminals :)
Yeah, right.
Mike

> This bill would authorize the extension of the Year of Manufacture license
> plate program to include automobiles that were manufactured prior to 1970,
> and commercial vehicles, including light duty trucks, that were
manufactured
> prior to 1973.
>
> This bill conflicts with the intent of existing law, which requires the
> Department of Motor Vehicles to issue license plates that are
reflectorized.
> The older license plates authorized by this bill doe not contain
> reflectorized material. This change represents a significant potential
> public safety problem as reflectorization assists police officers and
> citizens in accurately identifying vehicles that are involved in unlawful
> activities.
>
> The purpose of the vehicle license plate is for identification and
> registration purposes only. Allowing the expansion of the program, as
> indicated in this bill, would make tens of thousands of old license plates
> containing blue and black background colors eligible for the Year of
> Manufacture license plate program. I am not supportive of allowing such a
> significant increase in the number of non-reflectorized license plates on
> our streets and highways.
