Bermuda Islands Plates

Thanks to Steve Frampton, the worldwide collection of Outstanding Licence Plates grew larger with the addition of few photos taken at Bermuda Islands.

Geeky Licence Plates

Vanity licence plates often carry crypted messages. If you stumble upon a combination of letters and digits, like QWERTY, 1001010 or CMYK RGB, you may be looking at the geek's (or nerd's) plate.

Another example of creative design exploiting an artificial vanity plate idea to jazz up the name of the product. It must be really punchy, is not it?

Ontario Government Personalized Plate Poster

Sometimes people are not so nice. That's for the next post.

WTF?

Last year North Carolina officials made fools of themselves trying to withdraw licence plates containing the letters WTF while having posted the very same letters on their official web site. Three letters if put in that particular order may be read by computer literates as What The F$%k? In order to avoid some people being offended the NC government put hold on use of that abbreviation.

The Government of the Province of Quebec while refusing to issue personalized plates to its drivers, maintains ignorance to the computer lingo and randomly issues WTF plates:

Please have a look at the STFU plates from Arizona and Virginia - they seem to be perfectly legal.
