An Australian man with an offensive number plate has received criticism – from those who could figure out what it meant.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"

The plate isn\u2019t even in poor taste, a joke at someone\u2019s expense, and, to be honest, it is quite funny.<\/p><\/div>\n

Peter Lavac, a barrister, defended his decision to have ‘LGOPNR’ on his luxurious Lamborghini and says he doesn\u2019t care if anyone is insulted by it.<\/p>\n

The plate means \u201cleg opener\u201d, and he claims not everyone will know what it means anyways.<\/p>\n

He even went as far as battling those claiming its offensive,\u00a0challenging the Transport NSW order in local court earlier this month saying he was just “taking the p***” out of himself. He won.<\/p>\n

He said to media: “How can anyone be offended by something if they don’t know what the f*** it means?”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“How many other little Aussie battlers who have similar bullying letters?<\/p>\n

“How many have caved in and laid down and let them walk all over them because they didn’t have my resources or legal expertise to stand up to this and challenge them?<\/p>\n

“They are bureaucratic bullies,” the angry motorist continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey \u00a0are meant to be humorous, tongue-in-cheek, funny and entertaining.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is how most people find them when it\u2019s explained to them.<\/p>\n

He also brought up the point of why the plate wasn\u2019t stopped last year when he registered it, if it\u2019s been deemed so offensive.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cHow could you possibly construe recreational sex between two consenting adults as ever being offensive or demeaning in any way, shape or form?<\/p>\n

“It is tough s*** for anyone who finds it offensive.”<\/p>\n
