These Are The Naughty Number Plates Banned By The DVLA

Don't be a d*ck when it comes to your number plate. Nobody needs to know your name/job or personality type while driving behind you. But while you might be driving behind 'D4VE' and wondering why he didn't opt for 'W19 NKR' as he neglects to check his mirrors and swerves into your lane, the DVLA have announced that's no longer an option as they reveal the offensive number plates they've banned.

The list of 19 new registration plates banned from release was revealed this week by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).

Swear words, rude phrases, saucy body parts and words that are likely to cause offence - including ones of a racial, religious or political nature - are not allowed.

The biannual list of registration plates has some of the usual offenders which find themselves on the list every time including: AS19 OLE, BU19 GER, *M19 NGR and DO19 POO, Wales Online reports.

EU19 OUT and EU19 SHT, may have been banned because of an apparent reference to Brexit as the UK looks set to leave the European Union on Friday, 29th March.

The DVLA hosts staff meetings twice a year to weed out new, potentially offensive plates.

This process is done by people rather than using a computer in order to prevent any sneaky ones slipping through the net.

A DVLA Spokesperson explained about the new prohibited list: "The vast majority of registration numbers are made available but the Agency holds back any combinations that may cause offence, embarrassment or are in poor taste.

"Many people enjoy displaying a personalised registration number and there are over 50 million registrations available on our website, with almost endless possibilities of combinations to suit a person's taste, interests and budget."

Estimations suggest that the DVLA makes up to £160 million from personalised registration plate sales per year.
