(WSVN) – Drivers hitting the road for the holidays should be on high alert as the Florida Highway Patrol has issued new license plate restrictions targeting drivers with plates that are airbrushed, vinyl wrapped or personalized.

As of August, any modifications to standard, state-issued license plates are prohibited as they may affect the plate’s safety features.

Police are now doubling down on the rule that cites drivers for illegal modifications, which have skyrocketed.

Adding tint to a plate could also put points on your driver’s license.

This new crackdown could cost drivers about $116 in fines.
