From spelling your name to your initials, business, or something else entirely, there’s a personalised registration for everyone. However, there are also lots of number plate combinations that are deemed too rude for UK roads by the DVLA, which is what we’ll be exploring today.
We’ve previously covered banned number plates, but with millions of new 24 series number plates now on the roads, the DVLA has blocked the release of a whole new batch of over 300 registrations.
So, naturally, we’ve put together the top ten, as well as the entire list for you to look at and have a chuckle. Let’s kick things off with one for Jon Snow.
As we all know, this number plate spells out a naughty word. It’s one of those banned number plates that doesn’t really need an explanation because it spells out the word brilliantly, albeit with a potential Geordie twang at the end.
BA24 TDS, BA24 TRD, AND BB24 STD were also banned, so it’s pretty difficult to get around this one, even if you (for some reason) wanted to try.
A message to the current crop of British politicians or Great Britain in general? Whatever the purpose for buying this variation of “GB get stuffed” is, you can’t buy it because it’s been banned by the DVLA.
This one’s understandable as most people would read the last three letters phonetically and inadvertently swear.
No points for guessing why this one was banned! A pretty rude directive to be given to anybody, the DVLA had no qualms about removing this from circulation.
We aren’t sure why anybody would want to buy this plate that clearly tries to spell “harass”, but they won’t be able to since the DVLA has put the brakes on and banned it in advance. Again, it makes sense, as it could offend innocent drivers, which they obviously aren’t a fan of.
This reg is presumably an attempt to spell “skanky” which is pretty tame compared to some of the others on the banned 24 reg list. It’s also not an insult if you buy it for your own car, to be fair, so it’s a pretty harsh one to ban. It’s not even a word that’s used all that much in the UK, but the DVLA didn’t want to risk it so onto the banned list it goes.
From American insults to a classic British term, next, with this “tossers” number plate has been removed from UK roads. If we’re being picky, this actually spells “torfers”, with the 2 usually representing an R and a 4 usually meaning F on registrations.
Either way, we understand why the DVLA felt the need to ban this one.
Another obvious one next, even though it doesn’t accurately spell the word it intends to spell. However, it doesn’t take a linguistic expert to figure out what the intentions behind this plate could be, so it was straight into the toilet for this “AA24 OLE”.
Another potential political nightmare, especially with the UK leaving the EU a few years back, EU24 SHT won’t ever be spotted on a car in Great Britain. It might put Anglo-Euro relations back even further, which is pretty hard to imagine at this point, but not something the DVLA would want to be on the hook for.
This would be brilliant on an older, out-of-shape vehicle, if it was legal to have a new reg on an old car, of course.
However, as we all know by now, you can’t make your car look newer than it is with the registration plate, and since the 24 series denotes vehicles manufactured in the year 2024, it wouldn’t be allowed on your 2003 Vauxhall Corsa with the engine light permanently on.
We’re ending on a bit of a whiffy note with our list as we have this attempt to spell “farted”. No notes here or defences to get this one permitted on the roads.
A fair decision by the DVLA. Nobody wants a farty car.
If you’d like to bag yourself a 24 series private registration that isn’t illegal on UK roads, you’ve come to the right place. With over 40 years of experience in the industry, over 73 million number plate combinations in stock, and finance options to suit every budget, National Numbers is the best place to buy private number plates in the UK.
