Lithuanian licence plates


Driving around in Lithuania can bring quite a bit of amusement to people with childish humor and a keen eye for details. Not so much because of traffic itself, which is among the deadliest in Europe, but rather because of Lithuanian registration plates. Unlike in many other countries, they are equipped with three letter, which gives the opportunity of some interesting combinations:

Bob the Builder. Apparently he had to og to Lithuania to find work.

Almost a vanity plate. Pity the car is not pink.

This one had shopping bags in the back seat, so I Guess it was the BBC Home Service

Toyota - gamers choice

And last, but not least: God drives a Volkswagen!
 

It is obvious that Regitra either did not bother to check whether the combinations on license plates have lexical meaning in other languages, or that they just don`t care. Either way, the results are sometimes quite amusing. As a true Norwegian tourist, I am of course still looking for a car registered as KUK.
