Lamborghini Vanity License Plate Deemed Offensive By The Texas DMV

A man in Texas faced a surprising situation when the state’s DMV office suddenly decided his vanity license plate was offensive. Considering the guy had it over three years without problem, we can only imagine the shock at suddenly being told it was no longer allowed.

According to the Texas DMV, the plate number “370H55V” is inappropriate. At first we couldn’t figure out what the problem was, but apparently you can only decipher the “true” meaning of the plate once it’s flipped upside down. We’re not spelling that one out.

Just like other state DMVs, the one in Texas will often shoot down different vanity plate applications because the proposed alpha-numeric combination is deemed offensive enough it would affect the behavior of other drivers.

Some contend this is an infringement on First Amendment rights. But others believe the DMV is well within its duty to the community to keep overly offensive, inflammatory speech off license plates.

But others, including the Lamborghini owner, believe the state is reaching on this issue. After all, how many people are going to see the supposed offensive saying? I would only really become apparent if the Lambo flipped upside down, right? And then everyone is going to be noticing a wrecked supercar, not what the plate says.

Or did the owner know exactly what he was doing when he ordered he seemingly nonsensical alpha-numeric code, laughing to himself about pulling one over on the Texas DMV? That’s not explored in the news report on the issue. Just what was the guy’s intention with the vanity plate?

We guess whenever there are boundaries, some people will test them and try to push past in subtle ways. The debate is was what this guy had on his Lamborghini’s plate offensive enough to be censored by the state?
