Some of the plates are considered to be 'rude'
From Friday , the DVLA will release its 73’ registration plates. Each year, two sets of number plates are released.
This year, the ‘23’ number plate was released in March, with the ‘73’ plates set to be issued later this week. With each release, millions of number plates are put into circulation so it is not too surprising that some of the combinations form or resemble unpleasant or rude words.To help ensure that only socially acceptable plates are used on the road, the DVLA bans a long list of plates before they are issued to the public.
Commenting on the exclusive lists of banned number plates, Jon said: “So many number plates are banned before each release by the DVLA, that the public would never usually be aware of. “It is unsurprising that there are so many banned combinations when millions of plates are released twice a year. It is inevitable that some will spell - or almost spell - rude or offensive words.
“However, some of them are borderline but I understand why the DVLA chose to be extra cautious. They are simply trying to protect what is a very significant source of revenue for them.”Jon says that the new number plate releases every six months also bring thousands of popular combinations. He claims that names are always the most sought after plates.
