I agree. But I guess it's just the feeling of privacy, even though it really isn't. (?)

First of all, it wasn't me who cares. Rarebird intentionally blacked out his/her license plate, but did it in a way that still left their plate fully visible.

But why should we care? Because there are a lot more crazies on the internet than when you pull out of your own driveway. You get into the wrong internet argument or even make a disagreeable comment and bam, they hunt you down. Then there are the scammers. Perhaps FUD but it's not that hard to properly remove your plate numbers.

Well that's just classic Toyota/Lexus for you lol. Cut corners anywhere they can!

Here in northamerica signal lights are there only for decoration and they are so fragile that hardly anyone uses them, only the most daring do!
