Maryland recently changed its standard license plates to introduce a design commemorating the War of 1812. Donna Beth Joy Shapiro of Baltimore is among those who are not proudly hailing the new tags.
I can thing of nobody better to register complaints with than John T. Kuo, head of the Motor Vehicles Administration, at jkuo@marylandmva.com.
UPDATE: According to MVA spokesman Buel Young, the new plates made thheir debut in mid-June. He said that from June 14 to June 30, the MVA sold 454 vanity plates. Foor May 14-30, it was 334. So it apearrs that vanity is still alive and well in Maryland.
Certainly one month does not a trend make. And even the ugliest plate in the world can probably sell when it's brand new. But so far, no evidence it's a drag on sales.
