New cars will be branded with '23' plates from this month, but there are certain combinations of letters and numbers that are banned.
Every six months, before new plates come into circulation either on September 1 or March 1, the DVLA outlaws a range of registrations that could also be read as rude words.
The driving authority meets twice a year to examine potential registration plates to find any that may show “combinations of numbers and letters where we consider that they may cause offence, embarrassment or are in poor taste.”
