Cars are now being issued with '23 numbers plates after the new March release, but there are a number of combinations that have been banned by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
DVLA staff comb through potential registrations looking for “combinations of numbers and letters where we consider that they may cause offence, embarrassment or are in poor taste.” Then, every six months, the DVLA will outlaw a number of combinations it believes could be seen as rude.
The list of banned '23 plates was obtained by carwow via a freedom of information request, revealing plates that would always be rude, as well as some that could be offensive in the current situation.
