"Customized" number plates in th UK are crap. You must have a number, and it
must look more or less like an uncustomised one, which looks something like
this:
N01 HXP
Crummy, eh?

I was starting to wonder if 'vanity plates' existed elsewhere. I wouldn't
be surprised if they were pretty much US-only. I can't remember if I've seen
Canadian vanity plates, and I've only ever seen one or two Mexican plates.

I see lots of Canadian vanity plates. Maybe there're more in Canada than
there are in the US.

I was stuck behind a terrible driver with the bumper sticker "I Drive Like
Hell, but Jesus Saves." The sticker wasn't kidding, either--he made an
illegal right on red in order to cut in front of me, then proceeded to go
15 mph in a 30 zone, while randomly slamming on the brakes. After several
blocks, I pulled over and parked and walked the rest of the way (not very
far, happily.)

All Canadian provinces and territories except Newfoundland/Labrador and
Quebec have vanity plates, as do most Australian states, New Zealand,
Denmark, Iceland, Slovenia, Estonia, and Hungary. There may be more
countries that allow such plates, though.

I saw a plate while driving on I-69 in Indiana that read:
I69 TNT
I tried to get my wife to read it, but I counldn't accelerate fast enough.
I got to about 90MPH, but he was pulling away...

And why, pray tell, don't the Quebecers have / allow vanity plates?
