Do you think this person paid for a vanity plate or not?

The license says 9PEN155. I think it says PENIS. The driver was a man. Did this guy win the license plate lottery? Or did he pay for a vanity plate that was subtle enough that it got through the censorship?

Do California license plates normally come in the format 1AAA111?

yes and they won't let you buy a vanity one in that format either.

Kind of match with their climate and forest fires.

Since Idaho is a racist hellhole that can’t even admit the existence of the Spanish language, a friend was able to get a license plate reading:

JODIDO

by making up a story about Jodi and how she ‘do’.

Lost, confused, mixed up, fucked up, that’s how Jodi do!

Paying for vanity plates is too expensive. It was cheaper to legally change my name to "PJR 567".

I'm surprised that got through the vetting process, which I thought existed in most places.

Here in the UK, potentially offensive plates are altered or just plain skipped. There was a sitcom in the '90s that used one such "illegal" plate as an end-of-episode visual punchline, which had, up to that point, only been referred to as a "pornographic number plate". There's no way it would have made it onto the road in reality. P one five five OLE as I recall.

To give you some idea of how stringent it is here, back in 2007, one region had one of their region codes temporarily changed to TN from SN so that their plates wouldn't start with "SN07", i.e. "snot". Something similar almost certainly happened in 2017 for the SH region code, but I don't remember any news stories about that.

California does also have a rule against potentially offensive vanity plates. I was also surprised this got through.
