In a surprising twist of ingenuity, a California driver has secured a personalized license plate that reveals a hidden, illicit phrase when viewed in a mirror. Despite the California DMV’s strict rules against offensive or slang terms, the driver appears to have cleverly sidestepped these regulations, according to Boing Boing.
California offers personalized plates with 2–7 characters and also features specialty plates that support causes such as coastal preservation, child safety, and veterans’ initiatives.
Adding a fun historical note, New York issued the very first license plate in the U.S. back in 1901. At that time, vehicle owners were required to display their initials—a tradition that began with George F. Chamberlain, who received the inaugural plate.
