    Tips for Adult Humor Plates

    • Subtle wins, If grandma can't decode it, it'll probably get approved
    • Pair with car, "MIDLIF1" on a Porsche 911 hits differently
    • Read it backwards, DMVs check both directions and mirror images
    • Avoid slurs entirely, Even leetspeak versions get flagged
