1. Suppose vehicle with number plate written in local state language, and it hit a person who does not hit victim. How can victim will remember number or note it down. Especially in scenario when victim is in unconscious state.
2. If vehicle will go to other state, then it will be difficulty for other state traffic police to give green signal as they does not whether they are terrorist or tourist.
I think this is a very big risk to permit number plate in local language. I agree that local govt. should make sure to save local culture but department where this can be avoided we should avoid.
If they think they should write in Kannada then I request those guys who prefer number plate in Local language then they should also write in English or Hindi.
Please Note:- Kannada is just an example. Kannada can be taken as local state language. I love Kannada although I does not know.
