The VERY rude sounding personalised number plates which have been rejected by the DVLA
Sharp-eyed officials at the DVLA stepped in to blacklist a host of rude plates when the new "66" plates were issued this month
DOGGERS have been banned from flaunting their passion for al fresco loving on personalised number plate - because the DVLA has refused to issue DO66ERS.
Sharp-eyed officials at the DVLA stepped in to blacklist a host of rude plates when the new "66" plates were issued this month.
And DO66ERS was driven out from sale for a personalised plate - along with BU66ERS, GO66BLE and OR66ASM.
The Swansea-based licensing authority - who holds the registration for 26m cars in Britain - draws up a list of banned plates whenever the latest "age identifier"; numbers come out.
The DVLA holds its own sale of personalised plates - and could make a fortune as numbers goes for tens of thousands of pounds.
But this year's latest banned list includes:
DA66 GER
DO66 ERS
MU66 OFF
MU66 GER
MU66 GAR
MU66 HYM
MU66 HER
OR66 ASM
OR66 SMS
DO66 NNG
DR66 GGS
DR66 GGY
GO66 BLE
The format for number plates is the local code for where the care is registered (such as DO in Shrewsbury), followed by the age identifier (66 for the second half of 2016) and then three random letters.
So would-bed doggers in the Shrewsbury area fancying a new car for their not-so-secret drivers will have to think again.
The DVLA, which has its head office in Clase, Swansea, has the power to force drivers to hand the registration number back to the agency - if it fails to spot a rude or offensive plate.
A spokesman said: "The reasons for banning a plate can be based on political, racial and religious concerns.
"The DVLA has a propriety steering group, which meets at least twice a year to review the appropriateness of registration numbers."
Earlier this year when the 16-registration was launched, the DVLA banned plates such as B16 NOB and B16 SLG. The full list of illegal plates is pretty comprehensive.
Exclusive private number plates can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The most money ever forked out was the £518,000 for 25 O by Ferrari dealer John Collins, followed by £440,000 paid by UK businessman Afzal Khan for F1.
Jake Smith, managing director of plate broker, Absolute Reg, said: "The DVLA always publishes a list of banned licence plates when a new number is released, although we're sure that some jokers would like to get their hand on a few of the options that are prohibited."
