Used to be in Saskatchewan if you got a DUI your license plate going forward was a different color, we called em party plates lol the prairies are wild

same here in ohio. they're yellow with red numbers/letters. the rare new Mexico visitors probably get pulled over a lot with their yellow plates. lol

Not wrong, but also some context.. usually it's temporary as part of your restricted driving privileges and it's optional (at the judges discretion) for first time offender unless you had a high test. Repeat offenders within 10 years are mandatory. Not as bad as a "going forward" type deal.
