The latest list of banned number plates that have been deemed too rude for Britain’s roads have been released by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
The DVLA issues banned personalised numbers plates every year. They have this year prohibited 71 plates.
Among the plates taken out of circulation by the DVLA, who made £175million selling personalised plates last year, were BU71 SHT, BO71 LOX and BA71 TAD.
These terms include LU21 FER and HE21 OLE, as well as EA71 POO.

Combinations like AS71 HOL (GU71LTY), AN71 TAX and GU71LTY were all banned by the DVLA, who is based at Swansea in Wales.
All persons who want to display any number plates to the extreme-right of their cars, or any registration plates that referenced a particular part of the body, are prohibited from having them on their vehicles.
Numerous number plates that were associated with terrorist attacks or violence were also banned, including JH71 HAD and TA71 Ban.
A number of plates, including AN71VAX and CO71 ONA were also banned by the DVLA due to the outbreak of the pandemic.
Other plates banned from the streets included SA71 TEN, KN71 FED, MU71 GGR, SH71 TER and AN71 BUG.
A spokesperson for DVLA stated that the vast majority were made freely available, but they must not be embarrassing or taste bad.
“The reason for banning plates can be political, religious or racial.
