Exploring the World of Rejected Vanity License Plates
Vanity license plates often miss the mark when it comes to entertainment and creativity. Far from making your vehicle stand out, a poorly chosen plate can signal a lack of originality and a waste of money. Each year, state DMVs across the country reject countless submissions deemed inappropriate or unoriginal, with some patterns and phrases repeatedly making the ‘do not approve’ list.
The Most Common Rejected Plates of 2024
In 2024, the trend of rejected vanity plates continued, with the phrase related to ‘Hawk Tuah’ topping the charts in several states. Illinois, for instance, saw its fair share of creative (or not-so-creative) attempts, including ‘HOKTUAH’, ‘THICCAF’, and ‘UGEWANG’. Oregon and Ohio also had their unique collections of denied plates, ranging from the humorous to the outright offensive.
State-by-State Breakdown of Denied Vanity Plates
From Illinois’ ‘MUNCH’ to Oregon’s ‘ASSM4N’ and Ohio’s ‘GYATTM5’, each state showcased its own set of rejected plates. Tennessee joined in with Muppets-inspired rejections like ‘GONZO’ and ‘KERMITT’, while Oklahoma didn’t escape the ‘Hawk Tuah’ phenomenon either, with numerous variations being turned down.
Why Do These Plates Get Rejected?
DMVs have strict guidelines to prevent offensive, vulgar, or copyrighted material from appearing on license plates. This ensures that public roads remain free of content that could be deemed inappropriate or harmful, maintaining a certain level of decorum and respect.
Looking Forward: The Future of Vanity Plates
As we move forward, it’s clear that the quest for the perfect vanity plate continues. While 2024 may have been a year of repetitive and uninspired attempts, there’s always hope for more creativity and originality in the submissions to come. Let’s aim for plates that bring smiles, not groans, to our roads.
