This Clever License Plate Has Everyone Talking — Can You Spot Why?

Now, imagine turning it upside down.

Flip it mentally — or even physically on your screen.

Do you see it?

Certain letters and numbers take on new shapes when rotated:

3 → E
7 → L (sort of)
0 → O
H → H (stays the same)
S → S (looks similar upside down)
V → V, but now it feels like the end of a familiar-sounding word
When reversed, the combination forms a cheeky word that sounds exactly like what you’re thinking.

No swear words.
No offensive symbols.
Just clever symmetry — slipping past the filters of Western Australia’s transport authority.

And honestly?
👉 It’s hard not to smile.

🇦🇺 How Do Custom Plates Get Approved?
In Western Australia, personalized license plates are managed by Department of Transport (DoT) — and they’re far from automatic.

Every custom combo undergoes screening to avoid:

Offensive language
Inappropriate slang
Imitation of official vehicles
Confusion with standard-issue plates
🚫 Nearly 1,000 applications are rejected each year for being too suggestive or inappropriate.

Some Real Examples That Didn’t Make the Cut:
Rejected Plate
Why It Was Blocked
✅ RAMP4GE
Sounds like “rape rage”
✅ SAUC3D
Slang term with sexual connotation
✅ L8R SK8R
Could promote unsafe behavior
✅ B1G T1TZ
Obvious adult meaning
Yet somehow, 370HSSV passed through — either because the system didn’t catch its upside-down secret… or because it was just ambiguous enough to fly under the radar.
