People who buy number plates and alter the letters to look like something else....

Why why why do people do this?

I was stuck in traffic last night behind an expensive Merc and the owner had bought the plate FOR11M and altered the 1's to make it "look" like FORUM.

And again this morning [another merc] a woman had altered Y600 NNA to look like Y6 DONNA

Instead of looking "cool" it just looks a bit tragic

The only "cool" one that made me chuckle was someone had G5 POT and altered it to look like G SPOT but this was on a Ferrari

    There's one near me on a not-so-flash car where he's made S4 TAN look like SATAN. Its something like a Mondeo ?

    ETA on the other hand I often see a very swish Bentley with number plate LE55 TAX - I think that's quite clever ?

    There is a RI0 C4B plate made to look like RICH B where we live. Stupid really as the wife drives the car 90% of the time.

    Yep, there's one of those where I used to live. An oldish blue BMW with the numbers / letters put together to read 'bollcks'.

    And that's exactly what I thought, it looks bollocks!

    Incidently, a copper once told me that if you work to the absolute letter of the law, about 3/4 (if not more) of the reg. Plates on the road are illegal.

    Some traffic branch types carry rulers with a millimeter scale to .... prove the point.

    (with 'difficult' individuals, allegedly)
