I have no idea the reference, but I like that the umlaut can be used on a license plate.
it can’t – at least not like this.
A german license plate consists of
– Area code: one to three capital letters. Here Umlaut characters are possible, if rare.
– identifier: one or two uppercase letters and one to four digits (no leading zero). Here Umlauts are explicitely impossible. In special cases (license plates for government cars or temporary ones) six digits without letters is possible
The maximum number of charactes is eight, including the area code.
For electric cars a trailing character “E” and for historic ones a “H” is added.
So FÜS D 123 H would be possible: it’s registered in FÜSsen, has identification number “D 123” there and is a “historic” vehicle.
HJTI8 3VÖM is not a legel license plate. (it also misses the place for official stickers)
Well that totally sucked the fun out of whether the plate was funny and/or referenced Ludicris in any way.
Read it as if you are looking at it in your rearview mirror and it looks like “move bitch.”
My guess is that car is licensed in a state that does not have front license plates (I think about 8 or so US states do not have front license plates).
If I saw that in my rear view mirror you can be right sure I’d stay in my lane and slow down enough to make that driver’s ears pop. I won’t be road bullied.
