David Assman, the driver who was refused a personalized licence plate because his name was deemed offensive, has come up with a novel means of getting his way in the end.
Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) said no to his request because his name could be considered offensive when seen out of context.
He said he appealed the decision but was again rejected.
So to get around the prohibition, Assman has added a large print of his name on the body of his truck.
He wrote in a Facebook post: “Just as SGI anticipated me appealing my denial I also anticipated them refusing my appeal!”
Assman also said the reason he fought the ruling was because "there are too many snowflakes out there that get their feelings hurt about nothing!"
He added: "People need to learn to suck it up once in awhile, just because you don’t like or feel something is inappropriate, you don’t have to make a big deal about it!"
The move has gotten a lot of response on social media — including from the SGI twitter account.
All’s well that ends well. 🙂
