So I've been a member of various car forums over the years (VW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Acura, Subaru) and I always noticed that some people blur out or block their license plates when posting images of their cars. On some forums this tactic is more prevalent than others, but no forum so much so than this one.
Any reason why people hide their plate numbers?
Last I checked, people can't look up your plate number to find out where you live. And I doubt that when the cops pull you over they would take the time to look at car forums to find all of your posts where you brag about the performance mods you've installed.
So what's the deal?
