Every '73' number plate banned by the DVLA has been released and the list includes BE73 END and FA73 DCK. Each year, two sets of number plates are released. This year, the ‘23’ number plate was released in March, with the ‘73’ plates set to be issued in September.
As there are over one million plates released each time, it is unsurprising that there are some unfortunate combinations of letters and numbers which spell - or almost spell - offensive words.
Before each release, the DVLA bans a group of number plates that they have identified as being too offensive for the road.
