Vanity License Plates

[Braxo]

How does it work when you drive in the corresponding areas? I'm guessing you don't have any issues with all the speed, parking and more types of cameras

Not sure if the question is asking anything more than it's a real license plate from the state of New York. NY allows for vanity plates. Mine is using the default design background.

If your question is the snow and if the cameras/sensors on the Grenadier get tripped up - they do. With ice I need to deactivate the proximity sensors. For roads, our municipality (in Buffalo) keep them pretty clear for the lane markers to not get too many bings and bongs. For heavy snowfall, the camera does get obscured so we lose the automatic emergency braking system and related systems.

I'm assuming these are real plates, just wondering how this works from state to state. If you both are visiting the same state and have the same reg plate, do you have all the various cameras we have that automatically pick up your plate and send you a fine for making slight errors when you are driving or parking.

(Grond is most commonly known in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings as a massive, 100-foot-long battering ram with a wolf-headed tip, used by Sauron's forces to break the Great Gates of Minas Tirith.)

Any automated license plate reader should recognize the home state of the vehicle. Of course, there's plenty of anecdotes about the owners of "no plate" vanity plates collecting fines from all over the place...

Here’s what I went with - more of a subtle nod to the earlier adopters

Uk plate has to have correct letter and number font, size spacing or we get fined because the camera can't read them properly. There is no way they would cope if the different nations in UK could have the same plate.

There's a lot of variation state-to-state in the U.S., and even in-state. Say, California allows legacy yellow-on-black, yellow-on-blue, various legacies of dark blue-on-white, then (slightly different) new vanity yellow-on-black and yellow-on-blue, electronic plates (white-on-black), and recently California allowed vinyl stickers to be used in lieu of the front license plates. There are also many special plates (whale tale, palms at the beach, whatnot).
Vanity plates have some limitations - no obscene meaning in any language, for instance, but they can have from 1 to 7 letter/digital characters + some bizarre things like "hand" or whatever. They cost very little, compared to the UK. Ham plates in California are free - however, I cannot have a ham call sign on a black vanity plate.
Many states don't have front plates, and many states have a large variety of legacy and vanity plates.

If you’re really looking to make a connection with other Grenadier owners, this might work better…

And some cars in CA do not even have a plate at all. Honestly that fascinated me. While on vacation a few years ago I noticed anything from nice cars in Malibu to shit boxes held together with duct tape on the 405.
