This damages the primary reason for having license plates, i.e. to identify the vehicle.

A related question/concern, do the different plates use the separate number sequences or does each plate have a unique number? That is, is it possible to have EWU and a WWU plate which both have the same number? That seems to be the case from my observations. If true, that would also make vehicle identification problematic as it is too difficult to reliably identify the logos at any distance.
