A license plate in Perth has gone viral for its clever disguise, causing a social media sensation. The plate, spotted on a Kia Sportage in a shopping center, reads “370HSSV.” When flipped upside down, it reveals the word ‘ahe.’
Shared by Jeffrey on The Bell Tower Times 2.0 Facebook page, the post quickly gained traction.
Social media users praised the driver’s creativity, filling the post with thousands of comments and shares. Some admired the ingenuity, while others were amused by the unexpected find.
The driver’s tactic to evade detection by Western Australia’s transport officials adds intrigue.
Despite nearly 1,000 personalized plate rejections last year for offensive content, this plate slipped through unnoticed. Rejected plates like SAUC3D and RAMP4GE often hint at inappropriate content, while others suggest illicit activities. Personalized plates are more popular among men, but not all applications pass the review group’s scrutiny.
This incident shows social media’s power in turning ordinary moments into global sensations, highlighting creativity and humor in unexpected ways. Whether intentional or not, the driver behind the plate has made a lasting impact online.
