10,000 plates have already been issued with this combination.RALEIGH -- Thanks to some text message-savvy grandchildren, North Carolina drivers whose license plates have the potentially offensive "WTF" letter combination can replace the tags for free.
A technology teacher had to consult with her grandchildren on this?DMV officials got word of the plates last July when a 60-year-old technology teacher from Fayetteville complained about the plate after her teenage grandchildren clued her in.

In Nebraska, as you may know as a neighbor, nearly all of the license plates start with a county number designation (with the number assigned based on county population at the time that the state decided to do the county number designation). So, Douglas County was 1, Lancaster County was 2, Sarpy County was 59, and Hooker County was 93. So, I used to have car plates that would have read 1- and then an alpha-numeric sequence.Here's Fanny! wrote:So, I just had a thought about this (which is why I signed back on in the first place, but I got sidetracked, ha!).
It occurred to me that this should be titled WTF, Cumberland County? since the person with the plate in question is in Fayetteville.
I just assumed that because in Colorado, plate series are designated to certain counties. But, from the quote Marley provided, it says drivers in all of North Carolina.
So, here's the question: Do most states issue license plates statewide rather than from each county? Or, if they are still issued by counties, the series are not exclusive to said county?

Actually Nebraska is one of the only other ones that I know about, since my brother lives there (I think his county is 38 ).Appa23 wrote:In Nebraska, as you may know as a neighbor, nearly all of the license plates start with a county number designation (with the number assigned based on county population at the time that the state decided to do the county number designation).

However, in recent years, the counties covering the Omaha and Lincoln metropolitan areas (Douglas, Sarpy, and Lancaster) were going to run out of alphanumeric combinations. So, those three counties now have plates that start with a three letter combination and then 3-4 numbers (IIRC).
That's very interesting to me, I would have bet it would be the other way round. Funny how one just assumes that everybody does it the same way because you do it that way.Bob Juch wrote:Yes, most states issue plates statewide. Idaho doesn't. Watch out for drivers with 2C plates.
Of course the states that don't have county designators ship the plates in batches to the various offices, so there is clumping.

I think they might have changed around county numbers a few years ago, maybe when they decided to just issue stickers instead of new plates every year? I remember my brother bitching about something like that.

(We have very risque names in Nebraska. Where else would you find Hooker County next to Cherry County?
Goes to show what I know, I thought you lived in Missouri. I've always thought that Illinois must have free vanity plates (or that you could pick your plate number) because the letters always seemed to spell out something, although I seem to remember more letters than just three.littlebeast13 wrote:Illinois has been issuing plates the last few years, at least around here, with just random 7 digit numbers. I got my car 8 years ago, so my plate still has a letter followed by 6 numbers since they were in that phase from the mid 90's till the early part of this decade.
I remember when the plates used to be 2 or 3 letters followed by either 4 or 3 numbers. Always made license plate spotting more fun to see letters in the mix. Of course, we still have a buttload of vanity plates floating around, I believe at one time IL had more vanity plates than any other state....

The ones I remember from the cars we had when I was a kid started off with AG, ZGF, and ZTB, which don't come out to much of anything.Here's Fanny! wrote:Goes to show what I know, I thought you lived in Missouri.
