Emoji License Plates

#. Emoji License Plates

 

Most license plates on cars have letters and numbers.

In some countries, people are allowed to choose words or phrases for their plates.

These are called vanity plates.

In 2019, a region in Australia made special vanity plates.

The new plates also use letters and numbers.

But on top of that, they include a funny emoji face.

Divers can choose from five faces for their emoji license plate.

They can choose a face that is smiling, laughing, or winking.

They can also select one with heart-shaped eyes or one wearing sunglasses.

So far, the emoji license plates have received mixed reviews.

Some people say they are fun and memorable.

Plus, the sales of emoji license plates can help the government.

Other people, however, say the new plates are distracting.

Plus, the emoji characters are harder to recognize than letters and numbers.

So, the police may have trouble identifying emoji license plates, the critics say.
