Get Decorative License Plate Covers Over The License Plate

Each car must have license plates and the plates must be clearly legible according to law. This is the reason why some States like Florida make it mandatory for car owners to get new plates every five years. Constantly exposed to the elements and subject to rough treatment, the plates can show considerable wear and tear and may need replacement sooner if not kept fully protected. Covers made of transparent plastic are a good way to ensure the license plates remain in pristine condition for a longer duration

One can get plain Phantom Tag Protector license plate covers made of acrylic or polycarbonate. These serve the purpose of decorating the plates while keeping the plate itself fully protected against rain, sleet, snow, mud and weathering effects of UV. If a driver is accustomed to driving on rough country roads then it is a given that gravel and stones will impact the license plates to cause damage necessitating replacement. For all these reasons a cover over the license plate is necessary. The cover can be plain acrylic cut to the shape of the plate and affixed with screws but it can be more than just a plain cover. It can be decorative and serve as protection. There are any numbers of options when one wishes to buy decorative covers such as covers with a lovely printed border and shapes to convey a sense of class. These covers can be affixed over the license plate with screws or sometimes they employ a rubber gasket to provide complete sealing and offer protection along with good looks.

Decorative covers for license plates can also serve other purposes beyond aesthetics and protection. These days the threat has increased of traffic cameras capturing license plate numbers and automatically issuing tickets even if the driver is not at fault. It is for drivers to take care of the license plate and also keep themselves safeguarded against the capture of license plate numbers by red light cameras. The simple expedient is to use decorate covers with an additional feature. There is not all that much of a price difference between decorative covers and anti-red light camera covers but the benefits are many.

Plain decorative covers allow cameras to capture license plate number whereas anti-cameras do not. One could end up paying hundreds of dollars in fines without this protection. Simply by spending a few dollars more for decorative covers with anti-camera features it is actually possible to consider that these covers not only pay for themselves but also save quite a bit of money in the long term.

Whereas plain decorative covers are noticeable due to their embellishment, these protective decorative covers with anti-camera features are nearly invisible and do not invite attention of traffic police. There are less chances of a driver being stopped and questioned just on account of the decorative plate covers. Offered a choice most car owners would naturally prefer covers that are decorative yet not so obvious and offer protection against traffic cameras.
