Are you wondering why people still treat
you like Joe Shlub on the interstate,
despite the fact that you've just bought
yourself a new leather lined castle on
wheels?
Short of selling it and getting a giant
spike-covered SUV with bladed knockoff
rims, the method I am proposing may be
the most effective way to make other
motorists understand that you are not to
be trifled with.
How does it work, you ask? Simple- get
people to think
you're a lawyer (preferably one
specializing in litigation). Get a custom
license plate that says "LIV2SUE",
"LITIG8",
"LAWSUIT" , "CUINCRT", "IAAL",
"AMBCHSR" or even just "LAWYER", and
even the most brazen tailgaters will avoid
you like you're a radioactive grizzly bear
covered with bees. As an added bonus,
cops will likely think twice before pulling
you over for fear that you might
challenge
in court any offenses they accuse you of,
which would make their job messier.
Note: No one will be fooled if you put a
license plate like I described on a
1991 Subaru Justy. But then, what's the
point of protecting a car like that
anyways?

I think you may have overlooked that plates like that might make you a target. ;) |

Incidentally, I thought of getting my other half a plate which said SA5I NE5, but she was worried that no-one else would get the joke. |

At least one US State used to have a law that all medical doctors were required to have a special type of license plate on their car, so they could be recognized in emergency situations when a doctor was needed. This was some years ago, it may have fallen by the wayside. |

Possibly with good reason. I don't get it. |
|
| |
I just want either diplomatic plates or Government plates. |

Yeah, the General Register of Sasines is an archaic land register in Scotland. It's being phased out. My other half seems peculiarly fond of it, though. |

Perhaps not. There is a famed Scottish lawyer who does massive amounts of Legal Aid work with, uh, socially disadvantaged miscreants. He makes hundreds of thousands a year (from the public purse) but drives a Nissan Micra, so he can park at his clients' without fear of his vehicle being stripped and torched. |

i'm undecided as to the benefits this would give while driving but fairly certain that it would convert the car into a key magnet whenever it was left unattended. |

("I am a lawyer", not that anyone would get that. They would be just as likely to think it's "I am a lady") |
|
| |
People aren't terribly afraid of lawyers. Just mount police warning lights on your roof. |
|
| |
..and pull over some lawyers. Lame. |

"Lawyers Acquired My Estate?" |

I saw a big beemer in London with the plate L1BEL.
Seriously expensive!. |
|
| |
You should add "NEGOT8" to the list. I seriously know a lawyer with that on his Porsche. |
