A license plate from a Kia Sportage in Perth has recently gone viral on social media for a surprising reason. The plate, featuring the combination “370HSSV,” initially seemed like an ordinary set of letters and numbers. However, when flipped upside down, it revealed the word “ahe,” catching the attention of many online.
The image was shared on Facebook by user Jeffrey on The Bell Tower Times 2.0 page, and quickly sparked thousands of comments and shares. Social media users were impressed by the driver’s cleverness and amused by the hidden message.
This license plate managed to slip past the scrutiny of transport officials in Western Australia, despite the rejection of nearly 1,000 personalized plate applications last year due to offensive content. Plates like “SAUC3D” and “RAMP4GE” were turned down for hinting at inappropriate material, while others, such as “F4K3 T4XI” and “BUYAGRAM,” suggested illicit activities.
Personalized plates are particularly popular among men, though not all applications are approved by the review group that monitors them for appropriateness. The viral success of this license plate is a testament to how social media can turn small, everyday moments into global sensations. The incident highlights how cleverness and humor, even in something as simple as a license plate, can capture the public’s attention and spark widespread conversation.
