Controversial License Plate in Belgium Raises Questions: Is it Allowed to Have Offensive Phrases?

2023-08-05 11:08:00

If you feel like it, in Belgium, for a thousand euros, you can change your license plate. All you have to do is contact the FPS Mobility and pay. There are obviously limits to what you can put on your griddle, and this Flemish has found a way around them. Limits ? Your plate cannot have a political connotation, cannot be insulting or racist.

But on the plate of this Fleming, we can read on his plate “KUT-WIJF”, which means “bitch” in Dutch. Although it may have made some of the web laugh, others were offended by the cleverly placed insult.

On X, formerly Twitter, Internet users went wild: “When you pay, you have everything”, can we read. Or “Is it allowed?” or “1000 euros for that”. Some even decided to mention the authorities to draw attention to the situation.

Twitter, we might read the following comments: “Is that authorized?”, “When we pay, we have everything”, “1,000 euros for that.”. Some of them did not fail to mention Georges Gilkinet and the SPF Mobilité to make it clear to the authorities that they had missed this plate. As a reminder, your plate cannot have a political connotation, cannot be insulting and must not be racist. Three things that seem obvious, but are not clear to everyone.
