Rolls-Royce As A Taxi? Bengaluru Man Spots Luxury Car With Yellow Number Plate—Here's What It Means

Luxury cars are usually associated with five-star hotels and ultra-rich owners, which is why a recent sighting on Bengaluru’s streets left many people puzzled. A viral video shows a gleaming Rolls-Royce halted at a traffic signal, but with a yellow number plate, typically meant for commercial taxis.

The person filming the clip can be heard expressing disbelief, questioning how a car as expensive as a Rolls-Royce could be registered as a taxi. He also wonders how someone he assumes to be “poor” could secure a VIP number plate, repeatedly pointing out what he sees as a bizarre mismatch. The unusual combination of a luxury car, taxi registration and premium plate quickly caught attention online. As the video spread, it left viewers divided, some amused,

others genuinely confused by the rare sight.

Rolls-Royce Taxi Shocks Bengaluru Streets

In the Instagram clip, the man can be heard saying, “If this man is poor, then why did he buy a Rolls Royce? And if he did buy one, why did he register it as a taxi? A taxi number is seen as a sign of being poor and if he is poor, then how did he get a VIP number plate?”
