Just a few of the ones from NZ.
I saw one yesterday, a bus driver's electric car getting a recharge at the bus station....the letters were VLT. I commented to a couple of other drivers standing nearby that that was a good one.....they didn't get it....
Ah well!!

I shudder to think what people would choose if those number plates were allowed here.
...these are popular in Australia too!
Personalised plates are allowed to a certain extent here...and have to be authorised, just like anywhere... although seeing photos of some in the USA it would be interesting to know the system there
Clearly they have a sense of humour in NZ!
The personalized plates I see often puzzle me. We play a game on trips trying to decipher them. Yours are pretty good! And even I got them, lol.
VLT would have made me laugh too. To address the question of how the USA handles personalized plates: "DMV will not issue personalized plates that display symbols in a combination that is demeaning towards a group of people, or that is otherwise a vulgar, violent, or criminal reference or term per 2 AAC 92.120. If you believe a license plate has been issued that conflicts with this regulation, please email us at doa.dmv.webmaster@alaska.gov and DMV will immediately investigate the license plate and if necessary, recall the license plate." This is from Alaska, obviously, but it does not vary from state to state very much.
Very funny. In the US, you can apply for a personalized plate. I've never had one and do not know the cost.
I always think we're missing out in this country not having number plates that can be customised like that. Although I'm not sure I'd want my custom plate to say SILAGE !!!! (And,you know what, I didn't understand about VLT either. I thought it means Visible Light Transmission. )
I don't get 2 of them, which isn't to say they aren't funny just that I may well be obtuse. VLT? and the PLY841 one?
I have a very boring personal plate that I got from my parents as they had an excess car when I had a need for one. They had had the personal plate for 30+ years (since personal plates started in the state) so I have kept it for their sake as they won't ever need the second car again.
Ha!
I'm really tempted to look up that "married with metal" web site but I'm a little afraid of what I might find! Good advertising strategy, though. I wonder why anyone would use "silage" as their license plate? I guess they grow animal feed?
I didn't get MOST of them. Sry.
Ohhhh I’d love the grandma one. They’re very clever unlike the buss drivers
Yes, it was on a farm ute
VLT...Volt..on an EV
PLY was probably a knitter..but could be a carpenter!
VLT...volt, on an EV
They must be fairly common here. I noticed a clever one today and can't even remember what it was now.
They are....and it is the sense of humour...like the one I saw in 2012 in Te Aroha...an ice cream delivery lorry... COOL AS....
These are great, and I had to go back again this morning after realizing they're on the other side of the wonderful blue ball!
I like all of them, the Toyota is the most well known one
