Personally I would not mind paying an extra $5 each year IF the state issues a completely new and distinct plate EACH year. Yeah, I'd get tired of changing out metal plates each year. Still I think the value of having yearly distinct plates would deter a bunch of the currently uninsured drivers on our Oklahoma roads. I think I've heard of numbers as high as 25% being uninsured. Maybe our insurance costs would actually go down?
It will be necessary to screw those plates on well. Today the shy-locks go shopping for used plates in the salvage yard and the like. Under this system they would mostly be limited to stealing new plates off cars on the street and in parking lots.
Who knows, maybe some system can be devised to make the plate show "invalid" once its removed? Would be an inconvenience for someone who had rear bumper work done at the body shop but that's a small deficit for the much greater good..
