You may well have seen some strange and unusual number plates when out and about, but, despite what you may think, registrations have to undergo a thorough screening process before being signed off as roadworthy.
Indeed, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has now unveiled a list of banned number plates that have been deemed too rude or controversial for road users.
Even if these plates were given the okay, it's more than likely you wouldn't want your vehicle to bear such shockingly outrageous combinations as 'AS73 HOL', 'BU73 SHT', and 'EA73 DCK'.
