 I saw a car with the license plate number “1” today. 
 Was it in Dubai? 
 Gotta start somewhere that isn't a nullity.  🤷‍♂️  
 it says so little and yet so much 
 A man was once arrested in The UK for having the registration PEN 15 on his car. (True story). 
 🥇 winning 
 If it was in the 🇺🇸, then it was the state Governor's car. 
 The registration plate on my car is actually my npub. Policemen with a speed gun have absolutely no fucking chance of writing all that down before I whizz past🖕🏻😂. 
 in the uk, number plates act as serious value keepers. the most expensive ones go for ~600k pounds and more 
 like „air force 1“ ? 
 If you were in Belgium, that was the king 
 I’m yet to see a BTC plate 
 In Switzerland, short and special numbers are auctioned, states is doing quite some money out of it, and the worst is, if you move out of your area (canton), you loose your number and get a new one.
I didn't auction mine but randomly got one starting with 6669... 🤣 
 Not very anonymous lol 
 I'm in Paris & just passed a hotel where directly in front was a matte black Bugati with license "1" from KSA.  
 Then like an hour later I saw a different Bugatti with a "1" plate. What are the odds?
