Registration numbers referring to Covid-19, violence and sex are among the latest number plates banned by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
Anti-American plates, drug references and sequences that spell out racist terms are also among the registration marks that won’t be issued because they are too rude or offensive.

Political statements are also an issue, with AN71 USA a no-go, along with TA71 BAN and EU71 BAD.
Good old fashioned swear words also cause a headache for the agency, so BO71 LOX, FA71 NNY, **71 WAT and *B71 TCH won’t be appearing on any vehicle this time around.
