    Sometimes those can be ignorant and need a razor blade.

    My pocket knife would usually work. The stick-on ones usually don't come off in one piece, they tend to shred, it can require patience and maybe a little OCD...

    I've never used them (sticky placards) I use the holders on the trailer or at worst. DUCK TAPE.
