I can't think of a reason for the extra hassle and expense.

Cars should have both, so they can be uniquely identified both coming and going.

For example when you run over a road pedestrian by not stopping for a red light, as he sees you coming and jumps out of the way he might see your plate, whereas once you’ve run over him, cracked his hips and given him a concussion he may not be able to read your rear plate

Yeah but my question was for tags not plates

[–] AA5B 2 points 12 hours ago

I see that was added to the conversation: so weird to have opposite terminology. I’ve always heard “tags” refer to the plates, never the registration sticker
