License plates are a necessity if you own a vehicle. The lack of a license plate usually leads to legal troubles. Now, most of these plates are simply a random alphanumeric combination. However, there are always people who pay a little extra to get personalized plates. These plates are more expensive and can display whatever your heart desires. However, this must stay within the limits of the characters and comply with state guidelines. 
It goes without saying that the guidelines for personalized plates vary from state to state. However, some of the basics involve the prohibition of plates considered offensive. Another rule that is generally in force prevents buying the same numbers as someone else. Don’t be a 3JOH22A. With such legal directives, it’s almost to be expected that some people will bend the rules a bit to get the personalized license plate they really want.
For example, a personalized plate started going viral in 2016. People found it cool and still do. This California plate doesn’t even look that fancy at first glance. The combination of numbers and letters seems quite random. The plate, for those interested, read “3JOH22A”. Now, this plate is definitely personalized, and it seemed like the owner was pretty clever in doing it this way to not get rejected by the DMV. This plate looks completely different when seen in a mirror, as it reads “IDIOT”. Admiration for personalized plates It could be argued that personalized plates are not the best way to spend money, but it cannot be denied that this plate was quite clever. 
Even users expressed admiration for the rude plates, one describing what it would be like if a cop had to call it in: “Radio, I have a Toyota Tacoma, the plates say ‘IDIOT’ backwards in the mirror, can you check it out for me? Over.” But it turns out there have also been other individuals whose plates could rival this plate. Some rejected hilarious plates (and even accepted ones) Recently, a Twitter bot went viral after starting to post randomly rejected requests for personalized plates from 2015 to 2016. 
Now, while it’s quite funny to see the reasons behind the requests, the situation becomes downright hilarious when we check the reason for rejection, provided by the DMV.
