Why is it that each U.S.A state has special number plate

Why is it that each U.S.A state has special number plate?
O.K.I know that car number plates vary from country to country.What I don't know is,why do US no. plates have a special background describing the state.And I also don't know how and why it keeps changing every month or year depending on how many cars are sold in the respective state.In where I live(Malaysia),the number plates are all black and the first letter represents the state.For example,WRK 0123,W represents Kuala Lumpur and RK 0123 advances every time a car is sold in this state.If you are a US resident,can you please tell me how the US no. plate works,I really like to know how US no.plates work,since almost half the cars sold in the world are in US.Thanks very much.

every U.S. state is different, I believe. every state's license plate has its name on it somewhere, usually at the top or bottom. i live in indiana, and we have our state flag as the decoration. the first two numbers represent the county in which the car is registered, and the letter/4 numbers at the end are the individual vehicle's registration number. i'm not sure how other states work.

The plate design varies by state to identify where that driver is from. New number plates are issued per car every few years. If you see drivers whose car was registered in your area, you'll notice they usually have similar number combos.

The states charge a fee to get a license plate...so they change the style every few years so you have to pay for a new one. That's really the reason. Each state is responsible for their own motor vehicle laws, including if a car is required to get an inspection annually or not, and what age you can drive legally, etc. The states do have a lot of independence in many respects....there is no national Motor Vehicle Dept. in the USA. I do think that in my state that the different counties seem to have different letters they give out for the license plates, but I don't know if that is on purpse. There are some states where you have to have a license plate on the back and front, and others that only require one. I have been told that is because some states value the ability to catch speeders coming or going, while others they are trying to protect privacy of the car owner, claiming that the VIN # from the manufacturor is all that is really needed.... so that's that!

Each state has a different plate. The government agency that decides what the plate looks like is different for each state. Thus, we have different plates for each state. Occasionally, they do change the standard plate, but this is very infrequent -- perhaps every 10 or 20 years. However, what you have seen are probably specialty plates. Instead of the standard plate, which most people have, you can pay extra for specialized plates. These cost more, and have a special picture. Usually, part of the money goes towards something shown on the plate. For example, in CA you can have a plate with the picture of a whale. Part of the money you pay for this plate goes towards wildlife protection.

Because we are 50 states joined by a central government. Each state has its own plates, and passes it's own laws.

For some reason, petroleum and oil-based scams are becoming quite frequent. I guess that the person(s) sending these scams feel that people will get sucked into the scam because everyone apparently thinks that oil/petroleum careers will pay them a fortune. E-mail Dr. Mohammed (ROFL) back (well, actually don't). It's probably just some destitute kid (who somehow has access to a computer and the internet) trying to scam your money.

'Some jobless OFWs becoming drug mules' abs-cbnNEWS.com | 09/17/2008 10:49 PM An increasing number of overseas Filipino workers who are out of jobs have become couriers of illegal drugs, a fact discovered following the arrest of seven Philippine nationals in Malaysia who are believed to be members of a West African drug syndicate. According to a suspect identified only as "Cherry," some OFWs have become drug mules, specifically cocaine and heroin, to China and Europe. Cherry was rescued in Kuala Lumpur on September 12 after agreeing to become an informant. Cherry said that the drugs are put inside condoms and similar packaging and then secreted in body cavities or are swallowed by the couriers to evade detection by authorities. The couriers are then paid $2,000 to $3,000 for their services. Based on information provided by Cherry and "Ben," another informant, the Royal Malaysian Police raided the syndicate's hideout in Kuala Lumpur. Nine syndicate members, including Cherry's Nigerian boyfriend Topo Tsewelelo, were arrested, along with seven Filipinas. The Filipinas will face charges in Malaysia. Cherry said that jobless OFWs fall for this illegal trade for the money. "Dahil nga sa walang trabaho, may problema dito sa Pilipinas, may sakit ang mga anak, kumakagat sila sa mga ganung trabaho," she said. "They are offered free tickets, and $2000 pocket money," said National Bureau of Investigation director Nestor Mantaring. "Pupunta ka roon, makakapasok ka, and you end up jobless. These are the things being taken advantage of by these syndicate," Dionisio Santiago of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) said. The NBI and the PDEA will also work with Malaysian authorities to save more than 60 OFWs being used as couriers of illegal drugs.

This is not really news as it has been going on for donkeys years...in fact two British girls have just been jailed in Jamaica for drug smuggling saying that they did so because they wanted the money.
2 :
the problem is greed. the mules knew that they will be carrying dangerous drugs , this means that they will be in trouble if got caught. Some countries have the death sentencing for such acts. They the mules are not the kingpin. kingpin will certainly pays off the malaysian police ( even it is a court case ) . the drugs or the evidence mysteriously vanishes. being jobless is not the end of the world. by distributing illicit drugs you ends a lot of life.
