RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- A state-by-state survey shows that nearly 10 percent of Maine's registered motor vehicles are sporting vanity license plates.
The survey found an estimated 107,000 vanity plates on Maine's 1.1 million vehicles. That put Maine sixth in the nation in the percentage of vanity plates.
Virginia ranked number one, followed by New Hampshire and Illinois. States with the lowest percentage included Texas, Tennessee and Indiana.
The rankings were provided to The Associated Press by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators.
Nationally, nearly 4 percent of vehicles had vanity plates.
