SINGAPORE - One might have to squint to see them, but small vehicle licence plates - some of which are illegal - are being zoomed in on and scrutinised online by netizens. Photos of non-compliant licence plates have been surfacing on Facebook traffic groups, with at least nine posts of such plates in the six weeks before Nov 24, on the SG Road Vigilante page. These plates, which are either small in length and height or feature unusually small letters and numbers, can be seen in online posts to be mounted on both cars and motorcycles. They may be going against the Land Transport Authority (LTA) guideline on vehicle registration which states that vehicles must have their licence plates prominently displayed before they can be driven on public roads . Car plate makers and automotive companies The Straits Times spoke to said that vehicle owners install such small, potentially illegal plates for aesthetic purposes, or to avoid detection by speed and red light cameras. Ms Iris Seah, director of Chuan Heng Signcrafts, said that her customers who request these plates do it mostly for aesthetic reasons.
