Too rude for the road - government yanks man's last name from licence plate
Too rude for the road - government yanks man's last name from licence plate
Mr. Grabher wants his licence plate back. A Dartmouth man is furious that after 25 years the Nova Scotia Registry of Motor Vehicles has cancelled his personalized licence plate with his last name Grabher on it, following a single complaint. Lorne Grabher is of German heritage.

Really? You can't put "doobie" on a license plate? That just seems dumb.
As much as I'd find it in poor taste if I saw it, I think it's silly they're cancelling the plate after 25 years. (Honestly, I'm surprised the plate hasn't caused him grief from other motorists/pedestrians up to now.) You'd think they'd put the word/phrase on the no-go list and grandfather this one in, at least for his lifetime. He's had it for two decades. I will say I'm super curious what "alternative wording" the ministry has suggested... for a person's name.
