Rude '66' registration plates banned by DVLA

When each new registration is released, the DVLA is forced to disallow a number of plates that are deemed inappropriate, and the second set of 2016 is no exception, with DO66 ERS and OR66 ASM among those banned.

Every year two new registrations are released – in March and September. The first two letters of the numberplate indicate the location of the car's registration, while the two numbers denote the vehicle's age. The final three letters are randomly selected.
