You can have non-alphanumeric characters on license plates? What do the cops do if they need to catch you? Do they put out an APB for emoticons?

Like the guy with the NULL plate who got all the tickets for which no number could be found.

Truly a tragic tale.

This username means you also get "mentioned" a lot in big chatrooms where people post code/logs

I read an article once about a guy who got a NO PLATE licence plate and ended up being automatically blamed whenever a cop wrote in that a car had no licence plate. I wonder what 0X00000 would do.

Use the cyrillic letter А on your licence plate instead of the latin letter A. All your speeding tickets would be mailed to someone else

Or the 🅰️ emoji

It seems that everybody who doesn't know Cyrillic thinks that Д is the Cyrillic A...

Meanwhile, the guy in ~~the slave labor camp~~ prison making your license plate: "Alright, thats an A, I'll key in an A here"

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 0 points 11 hours ago

You do know the cyrillic A is just А(serbian) or А(russian)??

I don't think you can? But, you can use a space and add an equal sign sticker instead

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago

Are stickers allowed?
