I found a wolf

Another find for my “car plates can make words in Germany” collection.

German licence plates are organised like this: the first letters (1 or 2 but not more than 3) indicate the town where the care is registered. Then there are another two letters (sometimes one but this is rare) and a number, usually four digits. Until a 20 years ago or so you just took the letters and numbers you were allocated but nowadays you can pick the letters and numbers for a small fee (something like 10 Euro). The only requirements are that no other plate has the same combination and a few letters and number combinations are forebodden because they have a meaning connected with national socialism).

  1. One of my wife’s favorite pastimes when on the road is finding and deciphering personalized license plates. Some are easy, and some inscrutable, probably having meaning only to the driver and family.

    1. The fun thing in Germany is that many drivers probably don’t know that their licence plate mean something in English (and likely in other languages). Like the guy driving around with “WA-NK” or “SWA-T” and I saw a “BIT-HC” the other day (yes, this spelling). Many people use their initials and you’re kind of stuck with the first batch as it is the area (we live in HD, can’t do much with that).
