Ohio DUI offenders must use yellow license plates. In Ohio, if a person has driving restrictions from a DUI, they may be forced to display a yellow license plate on their car instead of a regular one. Another state that follows this type of regulation is the state of Minnesota. The yellow plates enable other drivers and policemen to be aware of their record of driving while under the influence. It is also a form of punishment for the DUI offender. Citizens from Ohio call these specific license plates “party plates,” but it isn’t a happy feeling when people have to put them on their car. It is accurate to assume how ashamed most people would feel if they had to install a yellow plate on their car.
