Think pink before you drink: That’s the message from a Florida state lawmaker.

Sen. Mike Fasano, R-New Port Richey, has filed a bill that would require bright pink license plates on vehicles driven by people with restricted driving privileges because of convictions for driving under the influence, The Associated Press reported.

The proposal calls for the first three characters on the plate to read “DUI.”

Fasano said this might embarrass people and make them think twice about drinking and driving.

The proposal also would permit police to make random stops on vehicles displaying the special license plates.

Similar provisions are in place in Georgia , Minnesota and Ohio .

According to The AP, Georgia and Minnesota use a special combination of numbers or letters to identify motorists convicted of driving while intoxicated, while Ohio last year made bright orange plates mandatory. Many other states have debated similar rules, including New York and Tennessee this year, but most bills have died after debate about privacy issues.

A spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union in Florida said the group is against the pink plates because they punish and ridicule.

Fasano’s bill – SB538 – is awaiting assignment to a committee for the legislative session that begins in March.
