The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency has announced its list of banned number plates for the year - and they include some funny oddities. Anything related to covid-19 appears to be banned, for example, along with words that look like "turd".
There are also the obvious examples of anything that looks like a swear word, such as BA22 TRD or M22 FKR, plus those that have rude acronyms in them, such as BJ22 GAL. You can see all the examples we know of at the bottom of this article.
The list of banned words comes as new rules come into force around number plates for this year. The new rules mean plates now have to abide by higher durability standards, meaning they should be more resistant to salt and dirt.
