Share the Road Plates!!

[Aggie_Ama]

I paid $30, not $75, for mine. ($30 over and above whatever your regular registration fee would be.)

Oops! It is $75 to register a truck in my county. Once I heard TXDOT hadn't released the funds to the humane society two years after they were introduced I said no way.

Still TXDOT holds the money hostage, I say no way jose!

Didn't know about that part...still, I like having the plate because of the possibility that it's spreading a little awareness to other motorists.

Where did you get your bumper sticker (Please Be Kind to Cyclists)?

I love the plates, I just got really teed off when I found that out. Maybe it has been resolved, this was two years ago when I was going to get the horned toad ones for DH.

It is a local campaign, they sell them for $5 through their site (bekindtocyclists.com). Also lots of the bike shops here have them for a $2 (I think).

I read this thread earlier today and as I was walking across campus to my car (no, I don't commute on my bike - 35 mi ea way is too long ) ... anyhoo, I saw the CO share the road plate. I had no idea we had that... it's so pretty!

Arkansas legislated against adding more speciality plates. I splurged on an ivory bill woodpecker plate and I call it my ASU peckerwoods plate.
Dumb NCAA rules.

I collect license plates...

I have one of the TEXAS share the road ones on my front (the front of my truck, that is).

But I'm anxiously awaiting the release of a DOT issue Parrot Head plate for my back.

Way back in the '05 legislative session they approved a "pro-life" specialty plate, but balked when the other folks lobbied heavily to get a matching "pro-choice" plate as well. The end result of a great deal of hissing and cat-scratching is that Arkansas kept the plates it currently had, but any new plates will only get a little bitty sticker down in the bottom center of the state's standard plate, which is kind of a real pale blue with a diamond in the background.

We've been working a bit to lay ground for a Share the Road plate/sticker, but it will be the 2009 session before any of that will come up. And given our legislators, I'll bet a cold Dr. Pepper that none of those stickers will say anything about choice, if they never ever approve another sticker again ;-)

Me, the Big Red Truck wears a Game & Fish Commission specialty tag showing an Arkansas rice field & flooded timber with a mallard duck. The big-axxed woodpecker plate is pretty cool, too... but I already had the duck.
