The DVLA outlaws a range of registrations that could also be read as rude words
New cars will be branded with '23' plates from this month, but there are certain combinations of letters and numbers that are banned.
The driving authority meets twice a year to examine potential registration plates to find any that may show “combinations of numbers and letters where we consider that they may cause offence, embarrassment or are in poor taste.” For instance, being met with a car's licence plate in front that says GO23 HEL or EA23 POO isn't exactly what most drivers would like to see. While other plates such as BA23 TRD, BO23 OKS and MU23 DER are also likely to cause perennial offence.
