DVLA, Car Number Plates, 2025, UK, Offensive
London: You know how British drivers love to get creative with their number plates? Well, some of those personalized plates can be hilarious, while others might leave you scratching your head. But the DVLA is stepping in to keep things in check.
They’ve got some pretty strict rules about what’s acceptable. If a plate is deemed offensive or touches on sensitive topics like crime or politics, it gets the boot. Now, they’ve released a full list of plates that will be banned starting in 2025.
And it’s not just about being rude. The DVLA also says you can’t make your car look newer than it is. So, if you’ve got a 2003 car, you can’t slap on a plate that makes it look like it’s from 2007.
Some plates are getting banned for being too political, which is a bit wild, right? If you’re looking to snag a personalized plate, you can check out the auctions happening from January 8 to January 14, according to the Express.
The DVLA has even shared a list of banned plates. They use an asterisk to show where any character could fit, but the rest of the letters and numbers make it clear why they’re offensive.
So, if you’re thinking about getting a new plate, you might want to double-check that list first!
