Is this Australia’s most bogan car? Hilarious note left at the place of the license plate of a Honda spotted in Sydney
- Honda spotted with homemade license plate
- The driver claimed his front bumper ‘fell out’
A P-plater has come up with an interesting solution to continue driving after the car’s front bumper ‘fell off’.
The driver affixed a handwritten cardboard license plate to the front of the vehicle with a note to police.
“The bumper fell off and ended up with the mechanic. Please don’t hold me aside,” reads the message on the cardboard sign, followed by a smiling face and a heart of love.
Below that is the license plate of the vehicle and the letters NSW.
Visitors to Sydney’s Top Ryde Shopping Center saw the broken Honda Accord Euro parked in the car park, while one person posted the bizarre image to Humans of Eastwood Daily’s Facebook page.
A Honda Accord has been spotted with a homemade license plate (pictured) that says the car’s front bumper ‘fell out’ and they were in the process of taking it to a mechanic
Facebook users were baffled by the attempt to continue driving with the self-made license plate.
“(The driver) can afford a custom license plate, (but) can’t take the car to a mechanic ASAP,” one user joked.
Another user commented that they should follow the driver’s lead and “restyle my own license plate.”
The NSW Government website states that number plates must simply be ‘clear, clean, uncoloured and flat over all surface’ and if one plate is larger than the other, the largest must be affixed to the rear of the vehicle.
“It is an offense for drivers and registered operators of vehicles if the license plates are improperly affixed, defaced, defaced or otherwise illegible,” the website reads.
The only exception to homemade license plates are subplates, which are used for unregistered attachments to the back of a car that block the back plate.
All auxiliary and number plates must be visible from 20 meters away and at a 45 degree angle to either side and above the car.
