Cars & Transportation Personalised Number Plates-The Good and the Abundance of bad

[TheStinger]

My mate at work just bought a new 4wd and his state issued licence plate (not personalised) is....wait for it...


WTF 404

I laugh everytime I see it.

Your mate wins the Internet.

Monaro/GTO/Coupe yesterday.. PH3NOM.

I don't get it.. nominally quite acidic?

I would say a very bad alternate spelling of 'venom'.

 

[Beerfish]

If that's the case.. pretty damn poxy.

Hope he paid a packet for it.

Phenom...as in short for Phenomenon. Still gay but that'd be what it is

Edit: yeah what he said

I recently bought some custom plates myself and read the FAQs on the Vic Roads website.

They make it very clear that they have the right to reject any custom plate applications are are deemed offensive or a risk to security. That being the case, they must have some absolutely clueless people reviewing applications:

In some rare circumstances we may reject or recall plate combinations. We will only do this on occasions where we reasonably believe your plates:

* Could misrepresent an affiliation with an authoritative body or agency;
* Are likely to cause offensive to any person or group of people;
* Contain a known profanity (in any language);
* Have a sexual reference, or contravene public decency; or
* Send a negative message about safe driving or road safety.

If we mistakenly issue you with a plate that is later deemed unacceptable we will contact you and request that you return these plates to your nearest VicRoads office. We will gladly issue you with a refund, or exchange your plates for another set of equal value. If you decide to take the opportunity to upgrade your plate during this process, you’ll only pay the difference in price between your new plates and the recalled plates.

[Deledinho]

Saw one the other day - IH82W8.

Good on ya, anonymous flogger.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Just saw on a hotted up FPV - YPERV4

*punches*

Now everytime I see a personalised number plate I think of this thread and commit it to memory (Y)

 

[Rohan25]

I pretty much hate all personalised plates, but I saw one near me the other day - UJSTJLS, which made me seethe.

 

[PunyHumans!!!]

I saw one that said RICK5TA...not sure whether Rick thought he was just a goddamned star or it was just his nickname..

 

[coldpieswarmbeer]

the good ones are the subtle ones, like my dad has SA 8002 or something like that (dont recall the number exactly, but SA are his initials)

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

I've seen "TIMMAY"
Not sure if he's a fan of South Park or of the former Australian leg-spinner.

There would be plenty get past because the person processing it has no idea what it means. Hell, about half the plates posted in this thread get someone responding with "epic lulz", but I have no idea what they're supposed to mean (presumably being over the age of 22 puts me at a disadvantage here).

 

[jimmy35]

There's no good, there may be creative but that doesn't equate to good. Plenty of bad though.

These are okay at least.

my dad has CAR 263
car initials
2 (Feb) 63 (1963)

People who put their names on licence plates really give me the shits

grrr, and of course when my dad was getting his he baught me customised number plates with my name on it, , I didn't want plates, but insisted that if he must, to get one with my nickname

but nooooooooooo, he doesn't listen and he gets Jason1

when I get his car in a few months im going back to generic South Australian plates, and he can move his old plates to his new car
