Many of you guys absolutely have seen license plates of cars on the road , some are black, some are green and some are yellow. Have you ever wondered why there are different colors of license plates and how each of the colors work? Today, ACU PAY woll share a little knowledge about the color of license plates. Let’s start!
For the red plate, it is a plate that is temporarily issued before the owner of the car gets an actual plate according to the type of vehicle. In principle, red plates are applied to vehicles that have not been legally registered. They are intended to provide temporary road access but are subject to restrictions and regulations by the Department of Land Transport.
Personal trucks or Pickup trucks use this color license plate, but some may be seen using black plates because when registered, they are only registered to be private-seat cars.
For fluorescent white license plates, black letters are used for cars and personal motorcycles. The positioning of the license plate numbers is different. For motorcycles, the alphabetical and provincial characters are placed on different lines. For the car, the alphabetical and numbers are in the same row.
