Yes I am one of those who somehow follows the group and blur his car plates. Don't ask me why I do it, seriously I have no specific reason to do so. Might have to do with the plate's numbers size, typeface, color, possibly clashing with the vehicle you try to picture. Car pics almost looks better without a license plate. No?
Don't you guys prefer looking at cars having their license plate blanked and/or replaced with a sponsor or automaker logo instead? I'm already convinced that it is how a Professional Photograph would want it to be
