The DVLA has released a list of 25 car number plates banned for being deemed offensive, effective in 2025. The list includes combinations flagged as inappropriate post-Christmas and aims to prevent the display of harmful messages on personalized plates.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency ( DVLA ) has published a list of banned car number plates deemed too offensive as we approach 2025. According to Birmingham Live, 25 combinations deemed inappropriate after Christmas will no longer be available on UK roads. Mark Trimbee, CEO of Regtransfers, commented on the list: 'It's always entertaining to see some of the plates deemed inappropriate by the DVLA , but there are also those that remind us why this is a necessary process.
Personalised number plates are an excellent form of self-expression, but they shouldn't be used to display genuinely harmful messages or views.' Trimbee further explained the complexities of assessing the plates: 'As well as the usual sex and violence references, there are those subtle combinations that don't seem to convey a clear meaning at first sight. With a little thought, however, we see how numbers such as GB25 BAD, GB25 BOM, and GB25 SHT could seem to convey anti-British sentiments that might offend some. To ban or not to ban is obviously a bit of a balancing act.' Among the banned plates are: 25 HAG, 25 HAT, 25 LAG, 25 LUT, 25 PAS, 25 PAZ, 25 RUS, 25 TAB, 25 UKR, A25 YAN, J25 EWW, J25 EWZ, AA25 HLE, AA25 HOL, AA25 OLE, AA25 RSE, AA25 RYN, AA25 SOL, AB25 ORT, AD25 UGY, AD25 UNK, AH25 OMO, AR25 BOY, AR25 EEE, AR25 EES, AR25 EEX, AR25 EEY, AR25 EOL, AR25 EXX, AR25 EYY, AR25 FUL, AR25 FUN, AR25 FWC, AR25 GAY, AR25 HLE, AR25 HOL, AR25 LAD, AS25 OL
