The DVLA has revealed which new 2022 number plates it's banned for being too offensive for use in the UK. Some plates are banned because they've been deemed to be too controversial while others relating to coronavirus and drug use have also been outlawed.
Please feel free to read some of the banned plates below, although given that they've already been deemed to be too offensive by the DVLA, we wouldn't recommend going much further if you think you may take offense...
Crude plates...
GO22 SHT, BU22 SHT, BE22 END, and BA22 TRD have all been understandably been blocked.
Motorists cannot pass themselves off as members of the Royal Family, either with NO22 HRH being banned for that reason.
Some of the ruder ones...
Examples include BL22 JOB, BL22 JJB, PU22 SAY, and FK22 SXY. Those that refer to violence have no place on the road, either. MU22 RDR is banned. So are UK22 GUN and GB22 GUN. There are also seven number plates ending in WAR that cannot be used. Plates that refer to organised crime are outlawed, too. These are GB22 MOB and UK22 MOB.
All banned number plates from March to August 2022
