Always interesting to see how different countries look at plates. Different colors front and back, different models for taxis (e.g. The Netherlands), EVs (many US states, and as per the article, the UK), and how they monetize them. Not to mention whether you need one in the front or not... I'm from Belgium they require front and back (same color), and which until ~10 years ago didn't allow customized plates. And then they allowed limited customization (9-abc-###), followed by full customization. Prices when they came out was 1,000 Euros (all things that make a car fun are taxes), went up to 2,000 Euros, and then they dropped it as demand stopped. They also make the owner of the car responsible for any tickets issued by the cops. Compare that to living in Arizona. One plate, on the back. A gazillion options. Vanity plate? Free. Cops can only give you a ticket when they pull you over. (Except Scottsdale).
