- dhosek 11mo agoThat plate wouldn’t be allowed in Illinois where there is a hard requirement that all digits follow any letters on the plate.¹ The thing that I find mystifying is that they charge more for a vanity plate that’s all letters than one that’s letters and digits. ⸻ 1. Although some specialty plates end up having suffixed letters, usually shown on the plate stacked.
- bombcar 11mo agoSome states simply do not allow 0 and 1 on vanity plates, you have to use the letters.
