A Canadian has gotten tired of being pulled over by cops in his racecar. So he decided to create the perfect license plate to shut everyone up.
Tim Neil owns a car called the Nemesis R1, which he custom-built to look like a single-seater racecar.
Yet despite being fully road legal, he has become frustrated at the number of times that the cops have pulled him over to question the car’s legality.
Because of that, he has come up with an ingenious and hilarious license plate for his car that should clear things up for any cop who spots him.

What does the racecar’s perfect license plate say?
The license plate on the car is self-explanatory, with it simply saying ‘It’s Legal.’
It is a small stroke of genius, and a funny one too, that sums up to the police exactly what the case around the car is.
The aim clearly is to stop Neil from being pulled over!
An Instagram user saw the car out and about with its license plate, and Neil himself has also put photos on his Instagram of the car.
We can see the license plate on full display in several of these pictures.
While it is tongue-in-cheek, it also draws attention to how impressive a car the Nemesis R1 is.
Plus, it really is the perfect license plate.
The Nemesis R1 is a fully custom racecar
Older YouTube videos document the build of the R1, while there are more recent images on Neil’s Instagram account.
It is a single-seater car, with the seat placed in the middle.
This is akin to what you’d find in a Formula 1 car or a Dallara IndyCar.
It is an incredibly angular and pointy-looking car, with a super aggressive-looking front-end and a crazy rear-end.
The side profile is very aggressive as well, with lots of angular pieces of bodywork and aerodynamic turning vanes.
Considering it is a homemade car, the end results of the build are very, very impressive.
Neil has quite clearly taken a lot of time and care into building the car up; however, it’s easy to see why he has been pulled over and why cops might not think the car is legal.
Hopefully, the new license plate clears up the confusion.
It should allow the Canadian to enjoy their car more while he is out.
