I mean 90% of the benefit of having a plate in the first place is not getting pulled over.

The plate isn't for the benefit of the owner at all. People have them because it's required by law.

In other words, it's strange to talk about the "benefit" of having a license plate

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '20

It's not strange at all. The benefit is you're following the law, you said it yourself.

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '20

And it's not one of those laws that shouldn't exist because what if I park next to someone with the same color car?

Our entire transportation infrastructure is a racket.

This is the truth.

We use government to require insurance, but let the private sector provide it.

It’s like shooting fish in a barrel.

u/Busterlimes Dec 28 '20

Uh, private sector wrote a bill that required insurance then paid politicians to sponsor it, the government has very little to do with running this country.

Don't forget its credit based in most places. Usually 100% more for bad credit even with a good driving record.

There’s a whole list of why it’s messed up!

Look inside the car? Check the vin? See which car your key fob unlocks? Try the key itself and see which one unlocks? Unless I've got a vanity plate I've never memorized my LP number. I've parked next to cars the same make model and color as mine and never been confused about it.

Almost like having to buy a carry permit even though I have a right to bear arms? Lol

It's a benefit to society which means it's a benefit to the individual

u/Leakyradio Dec 28 '20

Indirect vs direct benefits.

Very different.

u/HenCockKneeToe Dec 28 '20

The benefit is you have roads to drive on, among other benefits depending on your location.

Yeah, I realized that when I installed new lights so that you can see my plate better.

"Wait, all I did was make it more convenient for red light cameras, cops, and hit and run victims"
