    Darn my favourite number plate has been banned - lets get one past the censor.

    B4NN3D: DVLA draw up list of X-rated number plates to be censored on grounds of 'poor taste' | Mail Online

    Censors have been busy banning certain letter combinations from the road - with many plates starting with PR, SH and SL having to be scratched.

    This includes such variations such as PR14 CCK, SH14 TTY, SP14 STK, SL14 AGS and SK14 NKY.

    The 14-reg is also responsible for plates such as AL14 LAH, CR14 PLE and BU14 SHT.

    In addition, a fear over glorifying terrorism has seen any numberplate ending with J14 HAD also being vetoed.
    This included variations of numberplates such as BU63 GER, FA63 HAG, HU63 NOB and NO63 END.

    The 14-plate, which is due to start appearing on new cars in March next year, is a boon for personalised numberplate fans as 14 can be made to appear to read as a I or an A

    Also vetoed were OR63 ASM, OR63 YYY and a host of combinations that start VA63. SO63 OMY was also outlawed as was PU63 RTY and LU63 FER.
    OK so let's have from the clever on here any legal number plates from this year 14 that read as naughty words!

    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

    How is OM63 WTF offensive?

    Rather than banned it was probably reserved by somebody in DVLA

      There is always TULIP
      Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

      No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

        Pity they haven't got anything better to do with their time and our money.

          I think "NOB" is still valid, which looks "good" with any other combination.

            Given they've got NO63 END, I'm surprised they didn't ban BE14 END
