DVLA Bans Certain ‘24’ Series Plates for Being Too Offensive

The DVLA has released a comprehensive list of number plates banned in 2024, including offensive plates like *W24 NKR, SL24 GSS, and SH24 GED.

Every March and September, the vehicle registration year updates, incorporating ‘24’ for registrations after March 1 and ‘74’ after September 1. With the vast number of plates produced with each issuance, it’s inevitable that some form words that are considered rude or offensive.

The DVLA conducts a thorough review of upcoming number plates to exclude any potentially offensive registrations from use.

Tony Clark, an expert in number plates and the Marketing Manager at Plates4Less, requested the information under the Freedom of Information Act to discover which plates were excluded by the DVLA as ‘Too Rude for the Road’ in anticipation of the ‘24’ series release on March 1.

The banned list features an array of combinations judged unsuitable, including BO24 LOK, FA24 NNY, AS24 HLE, SH24 GGY, SK24 NKZ, and PE24 VRT.

Tony remarked, “Rude or humorous private plates have always been popular, and can be a lot of fun. People choose private plates like these to customise their vehicles without personalising them. Some want to shock and others want to amuse their fellow road users”.

He also observed, “Sometimes, the DVLA restrictions just lead to people being more creative, and trying to find rude plates that the DVLA didn’t think to ban.”

Plates4Less’s data shows a significant interest in rude or offensive word searches, with an average of 345 daily searches for such terms. Specifically, the ‘C word’ is the 29th most sought-after term, with about 21 daily searches, and ‘F*ck’ is searched for 12.42 times per day.

Tony added, “Customers use our website just to find funny plates and share them with friends, which we encourage! We even have a sharing tool built-in to make this easier.

“Outside of rude registrations, some of the most popular searches we get are names, like Sam, Dan, and Amy.”

While the DVLA makes considerable efforts to eliminate offensive number plates, Plates4Less highlights a selection of cheeky but legal plates such as S3XXX, OH69, FUN, OO69AAH, and PEN155. For further information, click here.
