For how long were you able to see it? 3 seconds driving by it on the shoulder with hazards flashing, or 3 seconds before it dissapeared over the horizon? :D

I don’t get euro vanity plates. They seem to have to work within some structure, so they aren’t totally free-form N -characters. And therefore they are never quite right. This one, for example, would have been so much better if the last digit was a “2,” and if the spacing was different to make it “IN A8 12” or something.

What are the rules for euro vanity plates?

I don’t know. I think strictly speaking, I would think they are illegal since they are not state issued plates.

Also, to be clear, this wasn’t the exact car I followed. The one I was behind has normal Virginia plates. Since I was driving I couldn’t snap a pic easily, so this one may very well be a German car with euro plates from a VW press release or something. I just found it via GIS.

Creeping in DC traffic, so behind him for a good 15 minutes going down the GW Parkway.

Sure, I get that this is a GIS. It’s just that it’s very common to see a high-$ car with euro plates that vaguely spell out something in a way that isn't quite like a vanity plate but it's definitely not just a random assignment either.

I didn’t even really look at the plate at first, but you have a point.
