What happens when the speed camera on the opposite side flashes on you?
When reflective plates were introduced in 1972, the most easy to read is black lettering on white, so that was chosen for the front. however, in the UK it is illegal to have a white light source visible from the rear unless reversing, and that includes reflective sources, so another colour had to be found, and yellow was the next most clear to read, so that was chosen for the rear.Where can I find rules of the road for Illinois?

They are reflective so they can be seen easily in the dark. Introduced in 1972 to replace the white on black plates. The different colours are simply to show front and rear., white to the front to match front lighting and yellow to make the rear easier to see. Red plates are not easy to see.

both the plates are reflective- not just the rear.its simply so its easier at a glance to indentify whether the cars is facing you or not.

when driving if you look in your rear view mirror you should be able to view the number plate of the vehicle behind you without difficultly - and the yellow is less reflective than white when headlights are shining on it so less glarethe answer to your question is simple. it is an offence to have a white light showing at the rear of your vehicle this includes reflecting light by means of a number plate. although there are exceptions to the law ie. emergency vehicles, breakdown vehicles etc. also worthy of note your not allowed to drive with your interior light on for the same reasons
