See the audacious number plate that made this driver an internet sensation overnight!

The art of personalising number plates has long been a way for car owners to express their individuality, humour, or even just to make a statement.
However, it's not every day that you come across a plate that can be described as a work of a sneaky genius.
In the world of custom number plates, creativity knows no bounds, and for one driver, their cheeky choice of registration has not only turned heads, but also set the internet ablaze with both chuckles and admiration.
A man named Jeffrey shared a photo online of a Kia Sportage sporting a number plate that, at first glance, seems innocuous enough.
The plate reads '37OHSSV'.
However, this seemingly random assortment of characters hides a cheeky message that's revealed only when viewed from a different perspective.
Turn the plate upside down, and you'll be in for a surprise. The combination of red numbers and letters spells out 'a******'.
This clever trick captured the attention of the internet, with the image quickly raking up attention.
Social media users have been quick to praise the vehicle owner's wit.
'This is so clever and hilarious,' one said.
'That's the best I've ever seen,' replied another
'That is brilliant, I love it,' a third remarked.
The driver's ability to slip this past the state transport officials is particularly noteworthy, considering the stringent regulations around personalised plates.
In the last financial year, almost 1000 applications for personalised number plates in Western Australia were rejected for being too offensive.
Some of the plates that didn't make the cut included 'GEN3CID', 'SAUC3D', and 'RAMP4GE', with others like 'F4K3 T4X1' referencing a pornography site and 'BUYAGRAM' alluding to drug purchases.
It's a curious fact that the majority of customised plate holders are men, who make up 71 per cent of the market, and the average age of these plate owners is 41.
It also seems that the suburbs of Baldivis, Canning Vale, and Byford are the hotspots for personalised plates in WA, leading the pack in terms of numbers.
Speaking of declined custom plates, a man from New South Wales was asked to return his plate last year due to its ‘offensive’ nature.
Recently, an altered vehicle number plate in South Australia also started a discussion among social media users on its legality.
