So it WAS referring to the owners parking ability

Hi Bart,

I was under the assumption that only 6 characters were allowed on a plate. Yours has 7. That assumption is obviously wrong.


Years ago a certain well known music critic bought a Rolls Royce. His plate was "4 MY EGO".

I don't have a photo of that one it was in an Adelaide Newspaper. (Molly Meldrum)

Only in WA. The rest of us are limited to 6.

WARNING: Boring fact alert!

In Qld, 6 digits are the norm. However on occasion 7 digit plates are issued as a revenue raising exercise. Further, the Qld Transport licencing system is actually capable of issuing an 8 digit plate with no further modification, but, to my knowledge this has yet to be done.

How dull am I

Hi Johnathon,

That clears up things a bit, and well put.

Came across another one today. Black Jaguar that roars. We followed it for sometime.

I can see some interesting situations if someone gets caught snapping someone else's plates watch out

A number plate here in Roma is 5MA5H3D (SMASHED). I will see if I can get a picture sometime when he's not looking.

My father had a friend with BO11OX

Sort of pushing the envelope towards offensive and eventually taken away from you, though.

Funny that.... I have a friend who lived in Cardiff and saw the exact same nr plate!!!
The reason he told me was cause I was telling him what nr plate I was getting....

Hi All,

This one made me laugh. I wonder how such a mistake may have been made. Also the legality of it????

Cheers Marty

It's probably deliberate.

To my knowledge you are only required to display the number plate with no obstructions etc. I am not aware of any wording that requires it to be the right way up.

[Baddad (Marty)]

Hi Michael,

I tend to agree with you.

Cheers Marty

[Baddad (Marty)]

Hi All,

Found another one, Must be "Mum's taxi"

Cheers Marty

I saw one a year or two ago in western Sydney on a young hoon's car...

LUV-24Q

I was amazed they let that one past.

Cheers,
Jason.

Hi Jason,

Technically okay, but morally bad. I agree I am surprised too.

Cheers Marty

Everyone knows Queenslanders can't park properly!

Hey leave Qlders alone - we tailgate, do not indicate and change multiple lanes without looking but we always hit the gutters when we park!
