This plate was spotted in Red Bank on May 22, 2010. It features a red “Kyleigh’s Law” sticker top left hand corner. Starting on May 1, 2010, this sticker is required on both license plates of a vehicle driven by a driver under the age of 21 with a probationary license..It is removable and affixed with Velcro. Some critics say the stickers could make young drivers targets.

Note that this particular plate has an illegal license plate frame. If you have a vehicle registered in New Jersey, be sure that the license plates are not covered with any frame. You can save yourself the expense of a ticket!

This week we take a look at a 2004 3M Discover NJ History Prototype.

First a bit of background. The Discover NJ History plate was first introduced in 1997. In 2001, the MVC changed vendors for reflective sheeting from 3M to Avery. The Avery sheeting did not hold up well, as was experienced in other states and provinces that used it. In 2003, the MVC switched back to 3M.

This plate was produced for testing and approval by the MVC in cooperation with 3M.  There are various notations on the back of the plate (see photo below) that show that this is no ordinary sample.

Last week we took a look at a 1992 Base Passenger Plate. This week we take a look at a 1999 (sitckered to 2001) Passenger Plate.

In November 1999, New Jersey started using plate stickers, with the first of these stickers expiring in November 2000. This example is stickered with a February 2001 sticker.

Last week we took a look at a 1985 Victoria Passenger plate. This week we give a nod to Black Friday with this 1979 Base Vanity Plate .

Sometimes vanity plates actually spell out words. In this case we are getting a two-fer. One can only wonder what the meaning of the plate is. Is it a wet Toyota or something totally different.

Now we aren’t sure when exactly this plate was issued, but we can narrow it down from 1979 to 1991.
