Every ‘24’ number plate banned by the DVLA revealed

UKEvery ‘24’ number plate banned by the DVLA revealed

Every number plate which has been banned by the DVLA for 2024 has been revealed ahead of new releases – including *W24 NKR, SL24 GSS and SH24 GED.

Each year, March and September mark the start of a new year for vehicle registrations. For example, every vehicle registered after March 1 will boast a registration including ‘24’ and after September 1, it will include ‘74’.

Millions of plates are generated with each release, so it is unsurprising that some of them spell or resemble, rude or unpleasant words. 

Each time, the DVLA sift through the number plates and take steps to ban any that could be deemed as offensive from the roads. 

Tony Clark, number plate expert and Marketing Manager at Plates4Less, submitted a Freedom of Information request ahead of the ‘24’ release on March 1 to reveal which number plates were deemed as ‘Too Rude for the Road’ by the DVLA.

The exclusive list features hundreds of combinations, including: BO24 LOK, FA24 NNY, AS24 HLE, SH24 GGY, SK24 NKZ and PE24 VRT.

Commenting on the list, Tony said: “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”.

“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.”

Tony has revealed that five of Plates4Less’s most common searches are for rude or offensive words, with 345 people on average searching for these every day.

In particular, the 29th most popular search is the ‘C word’ – which is searched around 21 times per day. F*ck is another popular search, which is searched 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 works hard to ensure that all the registrations on the roads are not offensive, some rude but legal combinations are available.

Search experts at Plates4Less have compiled a list of rude but legal registration plates including S3XXX, OH69, FUN, OO69AAH and PEN155. To see more, click here.
