Go Ahead -- Grade my Vanity Plate Idea

This is what I ended up with. I have Solar Panels so I felt it was fitting.

I have a great and really sneaky way to avoid tickets: I follow the traffic laws. At least close enough to be within the grace region. Generally 5 mph over the limit, or following the flow of traffic. This tricks the cops into ignoring me.

Impossible to do if you own a Performance model! LOL!

It really would be stupid of the DMV to have both Os and 0s in license plates. If, say, JACKO and JACK0 were distinct plates, policing would be impossible. Some folks might like that. But it defeats the point of license plates in the first place.

The only vanity plate I was ever really happy with was my ham radio call sign. I quit using that (though I could have continued) when I stopped being active as a ham. Here in HI I get a special EV license plate which I like better than a vanity plate.

My mother had a plate with the name of her favorite 19th-century author, and so people thought that was her name.

I don't know if they still allow it but back in the late 80s/early 90s, Kansas allowed personalized plates per county. I can remember seeing SNAAB on a SAAB in Douglas County and then driving back to Wichita and seeing SNAAB on a different SAAB from Sedgwick County.

There's no law against getting to the speed limit quickly. You jut have to learn to take your foot off the pedal before the speedo says you're at the limit some the car accelerates quicker than the speedo can respond. (At least my Roadster did.)

I don't see how that's possible. License plates are intended to uniquely identify cars. Unless the plates clearly distinguish the county you can't have two identical ones in the same state.

The plates have a county sticker with a two character abbreviation so you can tell what county they are from. DG for Douglas, SG for Sedgwick, RL for Riley, etc. You can easily tell within 30 miles or so where any car in the state is from. You also can guess pretty accurately which city or town they are from!

With that said, I think vanity plates in Kansas are personalized statewide these days.

Kansas still allows duplicate numbers to be used, and it seems to be a huge PITA

And yes, I do, sometimes.

Looks like you're okay as long as you don't burn rubber. Traction control should prevent that.

Thanks for the clarification.

That's pretty stupid!
