Have you ever noticed a car with a license plate that made you laugh, roll your eyes, or even take a picture? Vanity plates are everywhere—some are clever, some are cringe-worthy, but they all tell a little story about the person behind the wheel.
While some drivers use these plates to show off (think “RICHGUY” or “BESTCEO”), others go for humor or self-awareness. A minivan with “TIREDMOM” or a slow-moving car with “SLOWPOKE” can instantly brighten your day. Then there are the business owners who turn their plates into ads—”FIXMYPC” or “DOGLOVER”—making their cars into moving billboards.
Even in the middle of traffic, a funny or creative plate can break the monotony. They spark conversations, make people smile, and remind us that every driver has a personality—even if it’s just seven characters long.
So next time you’re stuck in traffic, take a closer look. You might spot a plate that makes you laugh, think, or just wonder, What were they thinking?
