nasib baik tak kena saman

i was stopped by a traffic police early this morning.
Reason : shiny plate number.
well, i did tell him that i wasnt the only one. ( trying to justify my small crime here )
it's true that there are so many cars with shiny plate number but do i have to be one of the followers?
of course not.
oklah abang polis, petang ni jugak saya tukar.

but why oh why, didnt they ban the shiny plate number thingy in the first place?
