Queensland drivers will be able to add emojis to their personalised plates next month, with owners given the opportunity to include a ‘laugh out loud’, ‘wink’, ‘sunglasses’, ‘heart’ or ‘smile’ emoji.
The emoji plates will be available from the 1st of March and must be accompanied by a mixture of three letters and two numbers according to Personalised Plates Queensland.
Queensland Law Society president Bill Potts has cautioned that the emojis could cause problems for the police number plate recognition system, with concerns about accurate taking down of details in the event of an accident.
