The DVLA has announced a new raft of rude and controversial number plates that it has banned from being used on British roads.
Every March and September, the organisation blacklists certain number plates to stop mischievous drivers from displaying swear words or rude phrases at the front and rear of their vehicles. Among those banned are references to Covid-19 such as ‘CO22 ONA’ and those which could be deemed offensive such as ‘BE22 END’ and ‘A22 HLE’.
More than 300 number plates in total have been banned by the Swansea -based DVLA, and the updated list comes as new rules are implemented around number plates in general. Plates now have to abide by higher durability standards, meaning they have to be resistant to salt and dirt. You can read about the rudest ever number plates to be banned here.
