I'm a Goan and I love Goa too. But, this kind of no. plate is totally unacceptable. Discipline and uniformity should be maintained.
I believe, a no. plate should bear just the registration no. and nothing else. Stickers and pictures, if any, should be taken off. I'm also against having nos. written in Devnagri script. Sadly, even some government cars don't follow these rules.

i remember seen a few plate's, one from Karnataka on a white accent which appeared "KAOS" thou the number was "KA-05". Just a wild looking font gave a different look,
the other was on an Indigo in which the last four number appeared as "BOSS"
the number were "8055".

Hey Aditya,

Not only are you against the devnagiri script on number plates, but so is the law!
It is illegal to have your number plate written in any language other than english i believe (remember reading that in the midday...am i right?)

Yeah its not legal having the number plates in other languages.

This is nothing in front of a Zen having a long number plate.. showing "Maharashtra 01 ....." Now.. spelling of Maharashtra is bigger than Goa:

Definitely asking for trouble.
Next time you see him, ask him if he's gotten into trouble for it.

normally_crazy · 12th July 2004, 14:39

Yeah,

Once I saw a white Nissan at the Suman Nagar junction going towards Chembur take at the signal only to be brought to a screeching halt by the cops at the chowki.

I wondered why they stopped him. Then I see that his number plates were in Arabic or Urdu!!!!

Man how crazy can these guys get?

Cheers

I have seen lots of number plates in Bangalore written in Kannada Scripts...

Taxis and Autorikshaws top the list

Jaggu · 3rd August 2004, 19:26

aadix · 3rd August 2004, 20:30

Rehaan · 5th August 2004, 17:41

This reminds me,

The other day i saw two really "interesting" ikons.

The first had 2 numberplates at the back (no V12, no jhol..both were the same number

) one in the regular place and on on the bumper.....quite strange!...i dont see the logic...

And the other ikon i saw had a rear spoiler... and instead of a LED stop-lamp on that spoiler they had mounted a motorbike's taillight!! quite an interesting mod!....lol
