Another Ontario Driver Tried To DIY A Licence Plate & It's Worse Than The Last One (PHOTO)

This driver couldn't even spell "free" right. 🤦‍♀️

Kingston Police suspended yet another DIY Ontario licence plate that really doesn't pass the eye test.

According to Sgt. Steve Koopman, patrol officers suspended a hand-made licence plate from a motorcyclist and weren't too impressed with its colouring or spelling mistake.

The driver, who was charged by police, apparently didn't do their research on Ontario licence plates, writing the slogan "Live Free Or Die..." on the plate.

That slogan actually appears on plates from New Hampshire, but it didn't even say that — the aspiring artist drawing it missed an "e."

It's the second such licence plate found in Kingston in the past few weeks — the last DIY plate was also hand-drawn, but at least there weren't any spelling errors.
