Why live in a world where we can name boats but not cars

Michal@programming.dev · 7 pts · 2y (3 replies)

But you can name your car

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y (1 reply)

You wouldn't name a car.

elephantium@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Some would consider having specialized license plates as naming their cars.

They're illegal in France,... frankly I find this sad... pretty sure I could come up with some cool dad joke to place there

CosmicCleric@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (5 replies)

They’re illegal in France,… frankly I find this sad…

That's too bad. Why were they declared illegal?

dev_null@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y (3 replies)

I guess you just can't get one, not illegal. Why would they be declared illegal, the government can just choose to not issue them.

CosmicCleric@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Why would they be declared illegal, the government can just choose to not issue them.

You'd have to ask @Hadriscus@lemm.ee why they are illegal in France.

Hadriscus@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

I don't know why, I'd say it's likely a matter of legibility. I looked it up and the only wiggle room you have is the framing, the back material (either steel or plexiglas) and whether it's written on 1 or 2 lines.

dev_null@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y

Yeah we are in their comment thread

Hadriscus@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y

I have no idea, good question.

Mine was a compilation of my wife and daughter's name; Elisae and as a nod to my Norwegian heritage it was the Norse Elisae. It was only a 22' though

It's not the size of the boat but the motion of the ocean.
