So when you see a car like a Porsche Boxster that looks the same whichever way you look at it you can tell which way it's facing!! |

I think its something to do with glare when they are lit up with the car behind.If you are following a car you obviously do not want to be dazzled by the reflection of your lights off his no plate.When travelling towards a person,then the reflection off a white plate acts as a visual marker to on coming vehicles. |

It is simple really, it ensures that all drivers can recognise that they are facing the rear or front of a vechicle, which might be important when a vechicle is reversing towards you on either side of the road. The colour simple codes front and rear. |

So that if you see a white one in the same lane as you, you know you are in serious trouble. |

all lights to the front of a car are white - and so if you see a white light you know to go to the left of it. All lights to the rear are red - so if you see a red light you go to the right of it. Yello number plates are a bit of a compromise. |

because the white plate at the front shines white & you are only allowed white lights @ the front of any vechicle |
