    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?

          Truly a tragic tale.

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

          Honestly, as annoying as that’d probably be, it’d also be great. You could likely argue any ticket was a mistake.

        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

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