For the first time in the world, the Australian government allowed drivers to add emoticons to their car plates for the equivalent of US $ 340, the Independent newspaper reported.
Initially, only five types of emoticons will be used: the heart-shaped icon of the eyes, which is wearing sunglasses, and the smiley, laughing, loud, which shines. According to a contractor at Queensland's Department of Transport, which lies northeast of Australia.
Queensland car owners can add emoticons to their license plates as of March 1. Whiteboards will have three characters, two numbers and one of the five emoticons.
Although the emoji is allowed on the official plates, it will only be for decoration and will not be part of the car registration.
Emblems cost $ 475 (US $ 340).
