License Plate Frames: Protection or Problem?

“Better safe than sorry” is a timeless adage, especially when it comes to our vehicles. Protecting our cars with accessories like license plate frames seems logical. However, whether the benefits outweigh the drawbacks depends on individual perspectives.

License Plate Frames: Essential or Unnecessary?

A license plate frame, as the name suggests, is a frame surrounding the license plate, usually made of plastic or stainless steel. But what is its true purpose?

License Plate Protection:

This is the most common reason people invest in this accessory. License plates are susceptible to scratches, dents, and damage from collisions, weather, and even… pests.

Enhanced Aesthetics:

Today’s market offers a wide variety of license plate frames, from simple and elegant to intricate and eye-catching. Some even incorporate LED lights, making the license plate more visible, especially at night.

Obstructing Law Enforcement:

Some frames are designed to completely enclose the license plate, making it difficult for surveillance cameras to capture the information. This inadvertently facilitates traffic violations. Mr. Minh, a long-time taxi driver in Hanoi, shared: “Many times, I have to ask passengers to remove their license plate frames before I can drive them for fear of automated ticketing.”

Superstitious Concerns:

Many people believe that obscuring the license plate, even partially, can affect luck and fortune. Ms. Lan, a shop owner on Hang Ngang Street, confided: “I’ve heard that covering the license plate can lead to theft and bad luck in business, so I’d rather not use a frame at all.”

Choosing a License Plate Frame: Proceed with Caution!

If you decide to use a license plate frame, keep the following in mind:

• Choose a frame that is legally permitted and does not obscure any information on the license plate.
• Purchase from reputable sources to avoid low-quality products.
• Install the frame correctly and securely to prevent it from falling off while driving.
