LTO New Plate Release

[GTcervan]

I'd also like to put a plate cover for my 155cc scooter. But that annoying rule keeps me from doing so.

[dr. d]

That's what I thought.

I asked because I have noticed a resurgence of these accessories on the road.

dahil walang naninita.

ditto for those uber-bright LED conversions, and those headlights that can not seem to go lo-beam.

on another note,
shouldn't there be a law against the use of red or green lights at the upper sides of panel trucks and container vans?
kung mamalasin kasi, it interferes with one's perception of the green-ness and red-ness of stoplights at night.
ilang beses na akong na-loko...

the previous owner of my innova, put in a plastic clear plate cover. over the years, the cover collected dirt and prevented its being scraped away by the cleaners.
i finally decided to remove the "clear" cover and make the plate read-able again.
but i must confess, that cover did its job. the plate's surface was as pristine as new, once i wiped the dirt off.

Gamit namin OEM Honda base plate.

[GTcervan]

Iwas yupi in case the middle of bumpers get hit in an accident.

Gamit namin OEM Honda base plate.

I saw those as well. I believe it will fit most non-Honda cars but, the price tho... 1.5k for the pair.

As an alternative to the frame, I'm also looking for a good backing plate that can at least wrap around the plate number enough to cover just the sharp edges. No luck yet.

Gamit namin Deflector brand for four- and two-wheel vehicles. Two pieces na 'to, the back plate cover and the front clear cover.

Wala pong huli sa checkpoint or anything?

alas, from my observations, walang nanghuhuli.

Took plate frame off briefly when this law went into effect years ago. After a while (and several instances of the plate getting bent) I just put it back. Never naman nahuli.

I don't get why they want to ban it. Protects the plate, protects pedestrians. I saw a college kid with torn trousers and a bloody leg after getting caught on a car plate.

Since 2013, hindi naman (o wala naman) nahuli. In NCR ito.

2014...
ningas cogon?

[oj88]

2014...
ningas cogon?

10th year anniversary. Malay mo, maalala nila. haha.

But seriously, I'm itching to install one now... I mean, I'm doing it with the best of intentions. Yun lang, it's still technically illegal and it sucks.

[GTcervan]

Is true 5k ang multa kapag nahuli? Lol.

[baludoy]

I've been using a thick clear acrylic cover with a small strip of blue and yellow sticker on its bottom for the longest time and i haven't been accosted by the police nor any traffic enforcers yet... Knock on wood.

I believe that the motivation towards banning any borloloys on and around the registration plates could've been the prelude to enforcing NCAP several years later. With that, any accessory that would impede the digital capture of the reg. plates were deemed illegal:

1. Plate mounts that can swivel
2. Acrylic or any lens cover can potentially cause light to reflect and reduce contrast and/or legibility of the plate nos.
3. Plate frames that have wide borders can cover part of the plate no.

As a side note, during the short time NCAP was implemented, it was actually a joy to drive around MM. FWIW, I'd gladly give up putting a plate frame or backing if NCAP is reinstated.

1.5k each po. Tsk tsk. Kaya front bumper lang kami naglalagay. Though OEM look naman.

[oj88]

1.5k each po....

Double-yikes!
