Fools!

I'm not sure who the folks who have license plate protectors think they're fooling?

License plates don't need protecting any more than they need a frame. But at least the frame provides some purpose in that it conveys a message of some sort - either as an advertisement for the dealer you bought the car from or some personalized cutesy remark.

The plate protector tells me that you're a scofflaw who's either frequently running stop lights & trying to avoid the corner camera's who'll ticket your dangerous habit and/or trying to foil the radar (laser) cop trying to get a bead on you. Either way - what's the rush folks?

My Grandma had a good saying about such drivers - they're in such a hurry to attend their own funeral. Just be sure to stay well clear, you don't want them taking you along.
