A South Florida woman was surprised to receive a new license plate with her vehicle registration renewal that she feels carries an inappropriate message.Pompano Beach resident Nancy Dello Stritto, who is almost 77 years old, opened her mail to find a license plate reading "SQZ A55." She told CBS Mia
Key takeaway ""I don't think a senior who is almost 77 will be driving around with a plate that has that to say," Dello Stritto said.
Why this matters in The Miami
The controversy over Nancy Dello Stritto's license plate has sparked a lively debate in her retirement community, with some encouraging her to keep the plate and others sharing her outrage. This incident raises questions about the oversight process for license plate issuance in Florida, particularly given that the plates are manufactured at a state prison and distributed through county agencies. As a major hub for retirement communities, South Florida may see more instances like this, where seniors are issued plates that they deem offensive or inappropriate. The fact that Broward County will replace the plate for free is a positive step, but it remains to be seen how the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles will respond to Dello Stritto's complaint. As the story unfolds, it will be worth watching to see if any changes are made to the license plate issuance process to prevent similar incidents in the future.
