As a society we need to reconsider personalised plates

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

I think, Sir, you'll find the correct spelling just to the left of the VW badge.

We’ve all had those moments in the traffic. The [insert preferred insult here] in front of you is proudly sporting a shit numberplate and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it. Well, to hell with that. Tell him/her that his/her numberplate sucks, we say.

Sometimes it’s less obvious than the case above. I once saw a very plain looking Mercedes C180 with the plate HAVNFUN-WP. I’m almost certain he wasn’t. Now you see with this chap above, he must have known he was spelling Scirocco incorrectly. I mean, the model name is actually on the car, just left of the VW badge. But, you can only put seven characters on a numberplate, so he just went for it anyway.

Excellent.

Thanks Davide.
