"Platespeak"

Platespeak ~ for example "5" for an "S" or an "A" for a "4" so as to make a word.

There's a proposal by an Essex (why am I not surprised?) MP who wants to loosen up the law on personalised number plates.

As far as I'm concerned they all spell PRAT

There used to be a mum in the playground at school who drove a bright red jag with the number plate 50 S3XY

So long as it not obscene many US States allow, at a price, one to design and register a "personal" plate. I frankly don't think it matters much as long as the vehicle is traceable via the registration. What I do dislike is when people break the laws on character size and spacing which makes taking note of a number difficult.


I did once see a "corrupted " plate T055ER ~ that even I would have paid money to own.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.
