Sadly low light do not mean the dead of night.
You could be driving on the longest day of the year in clear blue skies, and drive into the shade of some trees lining the road, or tall buildings for that matter, and that would suddenly challenge your chance of a plate capture.
As you are American 2 cameras are kind of a must have, as many states dont have plates in the front, so a oncoming car only a rear camera will get a chance of his plate as he have passed by you the other way.
And if you get to have a vote on more readable plates on cars, and banning silly secondary graphics on plates, and maybe making them a little larger,,,,,, vote yes, CUZ US plates are not really meant to be readable, at least compared to EU plates.
If anything and you can do it, i find that my "zoom" camera in the windscreen often add positive in regard to plate captures as it get its chance on those a little further away, and it feel like the sweet spot are a bit larger than traditional wide angle dashcams that have a very small sweet spot that is near to your car.
In my experience capturing 30 FPS footage it is within about 10 frames you stand to get the capture, Doubling to 60 FPS footage do give you double the chance, but in my testing 2 similar cameras aside for one running 30 FPS and the other 60 FPS, there was very little reason to use 60 FPS, so since that test many years ago i have just used 30 FPS video.
As cars over here in EU ville have plates front and rear i get 2 stabs at them, and some times the rear camera get the capture the front camera did not, this is mostly true when we are talking 2 different sensors, so it could be a 1440p IMX 335 sensor in the front camera, and a 1080p IMX 291 in the rear camera.
A example of this can be seen in this video, where near the end i get into a "darker" place ( trees at the left side of the road and so force camera to use other exposure ) but here the rear camer capture the rear plates on the on coming cars, where the front 1440p front camera struggle.
This is 80 kmh / 50 MPH Danish highway speeds.
