I’ll let the pics speak for itself today.  Happy Saturday and have fun.

WTF, The North Carolina DMV just haaaad to spoil about 10,000 cheap laughs that motorists are now enjoying seeing on the road. WTF!!! Yes thats right, the DMV decided that the letter combination WTF is ‘potentially offensive’ and is recalling the plates!!?!  WTF!! Offending who? Who dosen’t at least halfway crack a smile after seeing WTF on a license plate (LOL)? I’ll tell you: North Carolinans can now thank a 60-year old technology teacher who cried to the DMV after being informed by their grandkids. Hey kids in other states: keep your mouths shut and keep the inside jokes to yourself so that we can all have an extra laugh next time we see an older motorists unknowingly sporting the WTF.

The customized license plate “BTTLWGN” says it all: “I am the Suburban Commando.  Get out of my way or we will have a problem.”  All this car needs is a baby on board sticker while doing 90 in the carpool lane.  What would possess anyone to get such an aggressive vanity license plate?  A person that knows the world is changing.  We are now forced to stuff 48 hours in to 24.  As that Mom or Dad casually strolls to their kid carrier, their plate is a non verbal reminder of what is at stake:  Drop kids off at school, pick up dry cleaning, oil change, mani/pedi (guys too dammit!), groceries, pick kids up from school, soccer practice/piano lessons etc., and make it home so dinner will be ready by 7pm.  This plate represents preservtion of life for this family.  What would your urban warfare plate read?

Meet Jennifer Bitton.  

She is Scottsdale’s latest imfamous star due to speeding through Scottsdale 101′s photo enforcement cameras.  The problem is she was captured on bandit camera 22 times.  Yes…22 times.   She is being charged with criminal speeding, reckless driving and endangerment with her top speed reaching 22 mph.

Im a bit confused.  It takes Scottsdale police 22 violations before they arrent her at her parents home when our friend DMX was caught  racing at 114 speeding one night and they were knocking his door with search warrants and back up.  Hmmmmmm… I’ll let you come to your own conclusion.

So if your a young female like Jennifer Britton you get 21 chances and if your a black rapper in Cave Creek, watch out.

Aside:   The only reason why the went and arrested her now is to gain the media and public’s support for the ban on license plate covers currently pending review in the Arizona Senate.  So if I come up missing for exposing the “truth” blame Sheriff Joe and his posse. 

Oh wait, they will be busy in Mesa.

Arizona Senate approved a bill (HB 2250) that can bar motorists from using plastic or reflective license plate covers, sprays such as our own partner Phantomplate.com, and other substances used to block or obscure their license plate to skate around expensive tickets.  Below are a few samples of the items referred to in this ban.

There is still hope for all of us out there using some of these license plate covers and sprays becuase the ban is just an ammendment to the HB 2250 and there is a good chance that it may not survive when the bill return for final review. 

Many people argue that the license plate covers and sprays threaten public safety and there is already a law in place calling for motorist to have visable license plates.  I have my own reasoning for NOT supporting this ban.  I know far too many people that have been ticketed by traffic lights and red-light cameras when they were NOT in violation of the law.  Then it becomes your responsibility to defend yourself and incur the costs to prove your innocence.  These machines are faulty and everyone knows that.  I was stopped at an intersection last week waiting for about 2 minutes just idling, the light turned green and the very second I left my stopped position I felt like Amy Winehouse leaving a British pub there was so many distracting flashes going off FOR NO REASON!  Thank goodness I have Photoblocker Spray!

At least we know that Arizona plans to balance the state budget from revenues collected from motorists now that these license plate covers and sprays could beome illegal.  It’s no secret that the city has been drooling over the revenue that has came into existence just off ticketing motorists.

I’ll take my chances using a spray  since a regular po-po patrolling for license plate covers won’t even know the spray is on my plate.
