Rude numbers for the SCR4P pile.
It’s that time of year again, and more numbers have been thrown on the scrap pile for their offensive nature.
The new 14 registrations will be released on 4th December, ready for the New Year when they can be used on vehicles registered on or after 1st March 2014.
The 1 and the 4 can also be read as an I and an A, so of course, like every year there are many combinations that make potentially offensive words or phrases. Any that are deemed as ‘poor taste’ have been banned, and won’t be made available.
One that got away!
Banned examples include; SL14 AGS, SK14 NKY, BU14 SHT, CR14 PLE, AL14 LAH as well as PR14 CCK, SH14 TTY, and SP14 STK.
Many more 14 registrations starting PR, SL and SH have been scrapped along with these.
The censors had already been busy banning the 63 plates with rude combinations, as the 6 and the 3 can also read a G and an E or B. For example; HU63 NOB, OR63 ASM, and BU63 GER were all banned.
However, in the past some numbers have slipped through the net, for example; S11 AGU, B10 WME and UT02 SER. See photo evidence and more funny number plates here!
What do you think about the bans? How did the ones pictured manage to slip through the net? Have you seen any rude/naughty numbers around? Tell us at rap@carreg.co.uk or comment on our Google+ post.
