These Ontario vanity plates were rejected in 2022

Creative and crude attempts get stamped with disapproval

They say a car can be an extension of your personality and while that can include fuzzy dice hung on the rearview mirror, eyelashes on headlights and a unique paint/wrap design, Personalized License Plates (custom/vanity) are still popular.

Here are some of the plates that got forked into the rejection pile for being obscene:

2020.WTF
AREUDUMB
BYEBXTCH
DAAAAMN
FOXSAKES
HECKIN
WADDAFAK

Personally, “DAAAMN” would’ve been green lit as I don’t find it offensive but until I get that coveted job of approving vanity plates, it stays in the unapproved column.

Political and law enforcement plates are also denied, including:

OHOPOPO
GRETAWHO
PREZIDNT
VV.PUTIN

Violent plates? Nah:

CROWDKLR
DOGFIGHT
ISELLGUN
R3DRUMM
RDRUM
REDXRUM
REDRUUM

The Ontario’s Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery says these were too hard to read, to which I disagree:

JU5TSOLD
KOBEEEEE
LE4F5
MR.FR35H
OLDSKOQL
SORRRRRY
WAK4NDA

If the applicant requests a review, plates could get a second look but with no promises on approval.

What would you pick as a personalized license plate?
