A mum was hit with a £350 fine after picking up an offensive number plate to make people smile.
A 47-year-old, who asked to remain anonymous, displayed the words "SLUT HO" on her car as her way of "having a giggle" and believes 95 per cent of the population would not be offended by it.
The idea came about after the mum saw a wedding car with a plate featuring the word "TART" and she began trying different combinations of letters on the DVLA website.
