## About this plate

PERSONALISED, THE BEST-SPECIFIED FORMAT IN THE MID-ATLANTIC GROUP. Pennsylvania is the only authority here that states its separator rule in terms, and the rule it states is unusually strict (exactly one, hyphen or space, never both).

## About the format

The alternation is longer and is the only spelling that satisfies the separator contract, which is a small but real demonstration that §2.8's rule has teeth.

## Who can have one

PennDOT: 'Requests for personal registration plates are restricted to: passenger vehicles, motorcycles, motor homes, trailers, trucks with a registered gross weight of not more than 14,000 pound'.
