10 customised number plates that have been banned in the UK

Short of banning customised number plates full stop (because they really should, shouldn't they?), the DVLA has released a list of all those that are banned in the UK.

A car registration can be banned because of "political, racial and religious sensitivities or simply that they are regarded as being in poor taste", a DVLA spokesperson told the Guardian.

Because the full document runs to an impressive 46 pages, we've distilled the 10 worst into the below list:

1. PEN15

2. VA61ANA

3. P15 OFF

4. BO11LUX

5. AL60POP

6. GU11LTY

7. A55 FUN

8. A55 OLE

9. W4NKS

10. BA52ARD
