Cars are now rolling out of the showrooms with 23 plates attached thanks to the new March release - but there are a number of combinations people will not be able to get thanks to DVLA bans. Every six months the DVLA outlaws a number of plates with combinations of letters and numbers that could be seen as rude or offensive.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) holds a meeting twice a year prior to new number plates being released on March 1 and September 1, during which staff comb through potential registrations plates looking for “combinations of numbers and letters where we consider that they may cause offence, embarrassment or are in poor taste.”
The list of ‘23’ plates was obtained by carwow via a freedom of information request, revealing plates that would always be rude, as well as some that coukld be offensive in the current siuation.
