THE most recent list of car registrations too rude for the road has been revealed.

Twice every year, the DVLA is forced to blacklist hundreds of combinations as new registrations are released in March and September.

Anything that could be deemed slightly offensive features on the list, preventing cheeky motorists from causing a stir on Britain's roads.

New '68 plates were released on September 1, and already more than 400 combinations have been banned.

Swear words, sex acts and racist slurs all feature on the X-rated list, along with childish jeers and crude nicknames.

Some of the worst using September's numbers include BA68 TRD, BL68 JOB, SH68 GER and OR68 ASM.

Cause for offence? These are the other banned DVLA registration combinations

The DVLA has banned hundreds of number plates over the years because they could cause "offence".

The Agency says that a 6 can look like a "G" or an "S" while a 7 can be read as a "T" or an "L".

And some say if you look really hard, the number 67 can look like the letter "R".

Here's the outlawed DVLA combinations:

  • Four-letter combinations: *B** UMS, *G** ODS and *R** APE
  • Five-letter combinations: AB** USE, AN** GER and BO** SOM
  • March 2018 vehicle registrations:  **18 OOB, BL18 JOB, TA18 BAN, VA18 NAS and BU18 SHT.

Also removed from use this year were GA68 ANG, MU68 GER, BU68ER* and DO68 GER.

Any plates that feature SEX, BUM or ASS at the end are automatically excluded every year.

Other set four letter and five letter combos are also banned, such as TO** SER, SL** UTS and BO** MBS.

But the banned list isn't always able to capture every dodgy plate, with some occasionally slipping through the net and finding their way into circulation.

LICENCE TO OFFEND What are the most outrageously rude number plates to have slipped through DVLA’s net?

The infamous CU11 NNT plate was finally banned in March this year after being put on sale for £6,000.

The DVLA also removes certain plates that might prove popular among collectors, and save them for auction.

Last year, the Agency raked in £160million from personalised plates with buyers willing to pay thousands for names, initials and clever slogans.

And number plate sales also attract incredible price tags among private collectors, with single plates even fetching millions of pounds. 

Number plate essentials

This week, a special Rolls-Royce "RR1" number plate sold for a whopping £460,000.

A DVLA spokesperson said: "Many people enjoy displaying a personalised registration number and there are over 50million registrations available on our website, with almost endless possibilities of combinations to suit a person’s taste, interests and budget with prices starting at just £250.

"The vast majority of registration numbers are made available but the Agency holds back any combinations that may cause offence, embarrassment or are in poor taste."
