Who Decides If Your Vanity Plate Request Is Appropriate?
 |
Really? 'Goes211' could be construed
as offensive? |
So, you want a vanity plate for your fancy new car. You better watch what you put on it though, because it could be deemed offensive.
This Seattle Times article has the stories of some pretty inocuous (you'd think) plate requests that were denied and talks about how a determination is made as to whether you get the plate you request.
While we're all adults here (I can't imagine that many children are interested in transportation blogs), I have to warn you that if you're easily offended, you may not want to read the article as it contains the terms 'MRPOOP,' 'GO2HELL' and 'ZIGZAG,' all terms that were deemed inappropriate for license plates.
