2023 Suzuki Ertiga Hybrid

That's right. Plus, the green is not apparent so you need to be close to notice.

if i may,
"pati ba naman yan, palpak pa?"
how easy is it to choose and insist to the manufacturer of the plates, to use a more visible green hue?
as i recall, the previous plate design used a very nice readable and distinguishable green.

yup. those old enough will remember that private cares used to have a green plate which was noticeable at any time of the day (kahit may plate cover pa)

My car is months old and my parking is just in-front of our building lift. naka-sabay ko si neighbor and told me na ayos car ko... exempted daw ba sa coding? I told him yes, green plate yan... he said "oo nga no. ngayon ko lang napansin na green nga"

car is 3 months old na

when EVs first came out, their plates were orange. we could see it on the EV shuttles that la salle were using in between its various buildings in manila beside st scho....
i wonder why authority did not continue with the orange motif?

Hindi ko rin alam bakit inalis yan green plate. It was scientifically proven na white and green are the most visible colors for plate, same sa Orange at Red for signal lights and brake lighs.

Ang black na plate ngayon hirap na sa gabi mabasa.

Huh, kelan pa po naging ok o tanaw ang visibility ng black plates tuwing gabi? Lol.

What I mean is the white background and black lettering plates vs the old white background and green lettering plates.

MALINAW na ba?

Paki-check na lang yun context ng conversation sa taas ha.

[GTcervan]

Ah akala ko naman po kc ung literal na may black bg eh kung anuman un. Pero alin naman ho dun ung old white bg/green lettering plates? Yan ba ung may nakaukit na 'matatag na republika' dati o ung mga mas nauna pa dun? Yung sa mga karaniwan ngayon dapat kc jan mas maganda ang pagka-reflectorized para mas tanaw sa gabi.

At the very least, mabuti nga may license plate pa eh.

A lot of cars get away with either fake plates or none at all. Remember that SUV that went in the bus lane not too far back? License plate na nakalagay (kuno) was for senators use only. Peke (daw).

Citation needed? European number plates are all black lettering on white background and are very readable in all conditions.

The Vienna Convention on Road Traffic actually stipulates that number plates should be black text on a white background for maximum readability.

Like i said earlier, they (lto or whoever makes the local plates) should probably try to make the letters very reflectorized and glossy as much as possible. The poor visibility has little to do with being colored black unless (but maybe only) one is color blind. I'm sure it doesn't take a rocket scientist for some of them to understand this.
