New plates coming to Indiana. Thoughts?

Thoughts on this new offering?

The comments were all about toll, speed, and FLOCK cameras.

Hopefully they don't suffer from the 3M printed plate issue being black&white

We have FLOCK everywhere, so I would hope they did their research. However, if they're worse, I am going to get one come November.

I assume the background is flat and the white would be reflective? I wonder how that works with plate readers. I think I have an older plate that was like this, but dark blue background. I'll need to take a look at it.

These are the older white on blue plates we used to have. I have some work to do on my LPRs and may mess around with one to see what it does.

Iowa has black and white plates like that. When they're around here they seem to be easier to read.

I can't see them offering them to make it harder, so it makes sense.

Texas has White lettering on Black plates. Show up just fine.

UK has compulsory yellow on black (rear) and black on white (front). As most govn spped etc cameras work on the rear view, i seems they decided black on yellow was the best combo. Our rules are really strict though for lettering font, spacing, size, material, refelctivity etc.

example UK plates:
