August 18th, 2014 10:28 AM #506Plate covers are like seat covers. May mga taong walang paki sa car seats nila, kahit kumakain sila sa loob ng sasakyan, o may mga bata / anak sila na tumatapak sa seats without taking off muddy shoes. Matapunan ng softdrinks, matuluan ng ice cream, ok lang sa kanila madumihan car seats nila, bayad na naman yan.
Pero may mga taong OC, just want to maintain the freshness of their car seats, or just plain ayaw nilang magdeteriorate agad car seats nila agad-agad. Yearly kung mag pa detail, leather seat covers on top of original leather seats, contoured car seat covers to cover plain-looking and/or boring original car seats. I even know someone who put fabric seat covers on top of original leather seats dahil ayaw nila yung init ng leather on a sunny day.
On the same vein, may kanya-kanyang valid reasons to cover the car plates. Para di agad mag fade. Para di mayupi. Para di mapunit. Para di makasugat. Para pumogi., etc. etc. Some people naman need the protection coz they “abuse” their cars more than others do because of the nature of their work. Mga nasa construction, mga nagtatrabaho sa pier, mga nakatira sa tabing dagat etc., where the plates are exposed to severe elements -- kaya they need the protection more.
Meron naman walang paki sa plates nila kahit kalahati na lang natira dahil napunit na yung kalahati, for whatever valid or invalid reasons.
Who’s to say which one is the best practice, huh? I’m sure di naman dumami ang mga kampon ng nag-ca-car plates dahil lang na brainwash sila ng <insert your favorite car plate brand here> manufacturer into buying something which has no practical utililty? Di naman yata ganun katanga ang mga car owners bibili ng isang bagay na sa utak nila walang silbi di ba, at tapon pera lang?
Kung bukas sabihin ng LTO bawal na ang car seat covers for whatever reason, papayag ba kayo basta basta?

^^^ Quite a strange logic there. People need to understand that plate covers were not designed to protect license plates, they were designed to avoid being caught.
Primary purpose of a plate cover is to:
1. Limit visibility of a license plate.
2. Reflect (traffic) camera flash.
3. Limit efficiency of radar speed guns.
It's the same with tilting brackets for license plates. They don't really improve a vehicle's drag coefficient.Last edited by Walter; August 18th, 2014 at 10:48 AM.

August 18th, 2014 11:24 AM #509And do people also need to understand that nuclear fusion was not primarily exploited to be used in nuclear power plants as an alternative power source to lighting up cities? That, initially, Governments were mainly interested in nuclear fusion for weapons / war / military / killing purposes, and it was for these purposes that research moved forward?

August 18th, 2014 11:57 AM #510So you are implying na kaming walang car plate covers ay walang pakialam sa sasakyan?
Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
