WHO R U: What your license plate number could tell other drivers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:56:15 GMT

(NEXSTAR) - For over one hundred years, our cars have had license plates. While it’s obvious personalized license plates can help you tell those around you a bit about yourself (unless your state rejected your idea), your standard-issued plate may carry an equally understandable message. A regular license plate will typically come with a combination of letters and numbers. In Wisconsin, new plates have three letters and four numbers (it used to be three and three, until all combinations were exhausted) In California, standard plates follow a certain pattern: number, three letters, then three numbers. The state is on its last sequence, which begins with 9, and expects to run out of combinations in 2027, a spokesperson tells Nexstar. Mostly, the only information you’ll be able to garner from a standard-issued license plate is how old it is. Many states, like Wisconsin and California, are cycling through sequences.  Hobby Lobby doesn’t use barcodes: Here’s their explan...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:56:15 GMT

Though the animals’ enclosure at the zoo has a tubing system to allow meerkats to burrow — Sadie took a different approach.“The day Sadie gave birth, she surprised keepers by bringing her pups into the main exhibit space,” a news release from the zoo said.Sadie, her sister Stella, and Frankie all came to the zoo in November 2022. ...

Verstappen takes pole for Monaco Grand Prix ahead of Alonso as Perez crashes

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:56:15 GMT

MONACO (AP) — Defending Formula One champion Max Verstappen produced a superb final lap to take pole position at the Monaco Grand Prix on Saturday and deny Aston Martin veteran Fernando Alonso his first pole in 11 years.Verstappen called his first pole at Monaco “very lovely” but there was nothing to cheer for his Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez as last year’s race winner crashed early in qualifying.Alpine’s Esteban Ocon surprisingly led near the end of the session before the 41-year-old Alonso moved back to the top as he chased a first pole since the German GP in 2012, when he was with Ferrari.But Verstappen had other ideas as he brushed the walls of the sinewy street circuit to beat Alonso’s time by just 0.084 seconds and clinch his fourth pole of the season and 23rd of his career.“I knew this weekend it was going to be tight,” the 25-year-old Verstappen said. “I definitely pushed a bit harder.”Alonso walked over to Verstappen and shook his hand after a tigh...
