To the editor: California might triple the accessible plate-number provide by including an additional image to the entrance or rear of the quantity (“California is changing its license plate sequence for the first time since the 1980s,” Sept. 11). I counsel the usage of a star.
European automotive plates are considerably wider than California plates. Our plates are 12 by 6 inches. European plates are often 20 inches extensive whereas being barely shorter. Switching to the European measurement with an additional image makes for extra mixtures. The bigger measurement would make the numbers simpler to learn and will result in monitoring down hit-and-run motorists utilizing only a partial plate learn by witnesses and CCTV.
