March 14 (UPI) -- A North Carolina woman who has been fighting to be allowed to keep her "FART" license plate said the Division of Motor Vehicles told her she can keep the plate -- just not on her vehicle.
Karly Sindy of Asheville said she originally
applied for her "FART" vani- ty plate as a joke, and was surprised when the request- ed plate arrived in the mail.
Sindy later received a letter from the DMV saying the plate had been issued in error, as "FART" is among the letter and number com- binations banned by the state.
The DMV gave Sindy the opportunity to appeal the
decision, leading her to found the local group Friends of Asheville Recreational Trails, or FART, to help convince officials to let her keep the plate.
Sindy said she filed her appeal, and the DMV responded by saying she could keep the plate, but it wouldn't be a legal license plate for her truck anymore.
"They said that I can't keep the plate on the truck, but I can keep the plate in my possession and do what I want with it, and they said that since they refused 'FART' for other people, they couldn't allow it for this," Sindy told WLOS-TV. "I was really hoping they would just take FART off the list because it's not a bad word, but you know that didn't happen."
