I dropped the "chauffeur" part about 15-20 years ago, so mine says "OCY"
O= Operator (car), CY = cycle.
Don't remember when I last had a road plate on a bike, but it was in the 1980's.

I don't think it even has to be a crash box, any manual will do.

What I do in cases like that is drive even slower, then when its time to
turn, I almost come to a complete stop while turning. The half way
