The difference between driving a yellow-plate vehicle and a blue-plate vehicle, from my perspective as an experienced driver, is that the license plate color directly indicates the vehicle type and purpose. Blue-plate vehicles are typically small private cars, such as sedans or SUVs—compact, comfortable, and fuel-efficient, perfect for my daily commute and weekend trips. Yellow-plate vehicles, on the other hand, are mostly large commercial vehicles like buses or trucks, with heavy loads, high fuel consumption, and requiring extra caution when driving. Sometimes, I even yield to yellow-plate vehicles on the road since they face more urban traffic restrictions. Additionally, blue-plate cars have lower insurance premiums and only need an annual inspection, while yellow-plate vehicles cost much more, require frequent inspections, and involve commercial operation permits—quite a hassle. So, when choosing a car, pay attention to the plate color to avoid mistakes that could compromise safety and lead to higher expenses.
