Did you figure it you what it means?

The plate number of that car on your bumper.

Boston drivers are famous for being impatient. The joke is that they drive very close to your bumper because they are in a hurry to get where they want to go. They are so close that sometimes you can't see the front license plate of the car! Don't worry. There are crazy drivers everywhere in the world, not just in Boston. :)
