      yeeaah sorry it is…we do things pretty dumb around here. I wonder if you can’t come up with an example specific to your country

    I scrape off the old one with a razor and clean it with alcohol before putting on the new one

    We used to do this in Sweden! That was years ago though. You can sometimes still see older cars with them left on. Some of them are thicc.

      Mine is one of them, but I’ve almost always had not so great cars that I’m not prepared to bet on making it another 2 years. Also never owned a vehicle for any longer than a couple years so never new there was a limit. The joke is ruined

        Not really. Still a good joke.

        Yeah, the plates are spec’s to rust to bits in 15 years (approximately because they are cheaply made by slave labor) and states require them to replaced every 10 years (or less in states that have heavy saltiness)

          Sorry, that was suppose to be detectable sarcasm. Anyway, thanks for the info. Never guessed this post would lead to so much license plate knowledge

          I have never heard of this! In my current state and last state it was the same rule, i just double checked:

          “[the motor vehicle dept] provides this service, which is necessary when a license plate is lost, stolen, damaged, or becomes illegible.”

          my in laws have plates that are 30+ years old and look fine. Mine are 12 years old and fine except some dents.

          No salt on the roads though maybe that’s the difference.
