Everett Lynnwood Snohomish County DUI Attorney: Special License Plates or Plate Markings
This week it has been released that legislation introduced by Rep. Norma Smith of Clinton, Washington State, would require that drivers pay an additional $100 for the Z-plate, which would be good for three years. The drivers would be allowed to drive only a vehicle with a Z-designated plate.
The following is information from the award winning book, DUI/DWI: The History of Driving Under the Influence" that directly addresses this very issue. It is not so novel after all.
Ohio was the first state to use modified license plates on vehicles and in 1967, Ohio issued special license plates to DUI offenders and gave judges discretion to enforce this law. However judges rarely enforced the plates and as a result the special plate law was mandated by state law to all DUI offenders in 2004. Dyer, Bob. DUI plates are another Ohio flop. Akron Beacon Journal. (June 19, 2007) Unlike Ohio's standard-issue plates (which as of 2008 are red and blue on white), the DUI plates are yellow with red writing with no registration stickers or graphics. They are sometimes known as "party plates." Dyer, Bob. DUI plates are another Ohio flop. Akron Beacon Journal. (06/19/2007) In Minnesota, DUI plates are referred to as "whiskey plates." Youso, Karen.
