In a word, no.
“We live in a world where individuality is very important to some,” Trooper Steve said. “But there are a few things that are out there that we should keep our creative waves away from. Your vehicle license plate is one of those.”
In Florida, there are numerous custom license plates from which to choose.
“In the picture above, a driver made a license plate to look like a European plate. The driver made sure to include the correct number and even had the proper registration sticker on it,” Trooper Steve said. “Although I appreciate this effort, this is better hanging in your garage than on your car. This is not the original tag assigned to the car and could land you a criminal traffic violation.”
