Why is it that some plates are so cryptic, you cannot work them out wihout a brainstorm session with your passenger?

To me, if the plate can't be read & understood in less than 3 seconds, then it's a WOFTAM and the only winner is the RMS (in NSW) as they're paying them an annual fee to display crap.

But on the other hand, you get some real clever ones - a motorbike I saw on the M2 one day had WTFIV on it. Within a second I realised IV is the Roman numeral for the number 4. Very clever, and got past the authorities who normally stop plates like that.
