Trend in Belgium (1\/10)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are traveling to Belgium or come across a car with Belgian license plates, you may be in for some surprises if you take a closer look at the license plates. They are becoming increasingly personalized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple messages(2\/10)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some drivers choose to put their name or nickname on it, while others have chosen more humorous, even provocative messages.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest license plate that has caught the attention of many observers is a Mini Cooper. It is registered as “The Force”, a reference to the famous phrase “May the Force be with you” from the movie “Star Wars”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internet users confirm (4\/10)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the Facebook page: Licence Plate Belgium, this Mini Cooper and its message amused internet users who approved of the choice. Combining a powerful formula with a small car is a pretty good idea. Maybe the owner of the vehicle also wants to convey a message. Who knows? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quite an expensive approach (5\/10)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Changing a license plate costs around 1000 euros, which is not to be underestimated. When you see a big engine, it is not shocking, unlike a much more affordable car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is allowed? (6\/10)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can’t do whatever you want. Insults or hate speech are not allowed. To find out what is allowed and what is not, simply visit the FPS Mobility website and share your idea. If the license plate already exists, you will see a message saying  “not available”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Numbers and letters (7\/10)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some words will also be rejected, like \u201cpolice.\u201d Surprisingly, the word \u201ccop\u201d is allowed. I wonder why. Some clever people have also found a loophole in the system by replacing letters with numbers (like O for 0 or 3 for E). You can also reverse the letters or use English words to make the message go unnoticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vehicle Registration Department (8\/10)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It all depends on the person at the vehicle registration office you deal with when you apply for a license plate. They may not understand the coded message you are trying to convey. Let’s face it, if you are dealing with a young person, they will probably understand your trick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Original examples (9\/10)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Original license plates have already been spotted on the roads, such as \u201cBzzz,\u201d \u201cAperoo,\u201d \u201cBatman,\u201d \u201cZorro,\u201d \u201cFcuk Off,\u201d \u201cInsolent,\u201d \u201cJmenfous,\u201d and even \u201cMinou.\u201d Some drivers have quite the imagination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in France? (10\/10)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In France, any modification of a license plate is prohibited by the Highway Code. The legislation is governed by article R317-8. It is also prohibited to change the color of the letters and numbers or the background color of the license plate. For vehicles, only black on a reflective white background is allowed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

License plates are often a topic of discussion when we go on vacation or when we look at cars on the street or in a parking lot. They let us know (in most cases) where the passengers in the cars are coming from. In Belgium, many drivers personalize their license plates, and some go to great lengths to do so. Here are some pretty funny examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
