You can have non-alphanumeric characters on license plates? What do the cops do if they need to catch you? Do they put out an APB for emoticons?

Use the cyrillic letter А on your licence plate instead of the latin letter A. All your speeding tickets would be mailed to someone else

It seems that everybody who doesn't know Cyrillic thinks that Д is the Cyrillic A...

Meanwhile, the guy in ~~the slave labor camp~~ prison making your license plate: "Alright, thats an A, I'll key in an A here"

You do know the cyrillic A is just А(serbian) or А(russian)??

Or the 🅰️ emoji

They already consider similar looking letters as the same. If someone has the license plate "OOPS" , if you try and register "00P5" it will say it's taken.
