To want to change my number plate?

It's awful! It is something along the lines of 'anal 69'. It is NOT a personalised number plate. Is there a way to request a new one or would it have to be personalised?

I hate it. I know threads about another thread aren't aloud really but that's what got me starting this one - it looks awful and like it has been personalised to be rude.

I'm a woman of class! Blush

Yeah I'd change it. No idea how that's done, but I would.

Maybe if it's that obviously dodgy some bellend will pay you for it - then the DVLA will issue a different age-related plate. So maybe you could make money out of it.

Pelleas · 16/05/2020 18:16

I expect there's someone out there who'd pay a fortune for it!

PeppasMuddyPuddles · 16/05/2020 18:17

I would change it, and tbh if you've had it since january I would already have changed it!
Not sure if theres any other way of doing it though than getting a personalised one.

DVLA does not permit offensive number plates. If yours is truly offensive, you’ll be able to sell it, I expect there would be a lot of interest

nicannie · 16/05/2020 18:19

There's no way to change it without getting a personalised one, they don't always need to cost a fortune though so just have a look around! Ps I'd also change it if it was that bad

I just cringe to think of all the giggles and shocked drivers I've had behind me at the rear having a laugh at it whilst driving Sad

If it's truly offensive, the DVLA are likely just to withdraw it.

LudaMusser · 16/05/2020 18:30

Buy a cheap £250 plate from the DVLA

Purpletigers · 16/05/2020 18:32

My sister bought a car and the number plate was Vag something ? She re registered it .

BayandBlonde · 16/05/2020 18:35

I had a number plate ending in CUW it was just awful. I all I could see was CUM.

Change your plate OP Grin

EmbarrassedUser · 16/05/2020 18:37

Am I the only one desperate to know what it actually is? 😆🤣

AnneKipanki · 16/05/2020 19:25

I am surprised it was released . They are usually careful these days.

avroroad · 16/05/2020 19:28

DVLA does not permit offensive number plates.

L6 UNT exists. I have never seen a better one.

SachaStark · 16/05/2020 19:31

Haha, oh bless you, OP! I have to admit, I would find it very funny, and probably keep it for the laughs!

But if it’s not going to make you smile, I would change it. Could you maybe sell the plate? There’s bound to be some silly rich young lads out there who’d want a plate like that.

pigsDOfly · 16/05/2020 19:32

Was just going to say more or less the same as AnneKipanki.

DVLA is very careful about making sure number plates are not offensive or could be thought to be rude or obscene.

Anything resembling the number plate you're suggesting would not be allowed.

Are you sure your eyes are not deceiving you or you have an over vivid imagination?

You obviously do need a vivid imagination. That just looked L6 UNT to me. Without the context of the previous few posts, it probably still would.

PhoneLock · 16/05/2020 20:30

Looked like

Really?

I don't think you need a vivid imagination for that.

One of my neighbours has BJ10 VLY without spaces. It makes me vom in my mouth every time I see it 🤢

ScarletFever · 16/05/2020 20:54
