Major number plate rules change from tomorrow with hundreds of designs banned28-Feb-2025
Over 200 DVLA number plates will be banned from UK roads tomorrow as new ‘25 designs are launched.
New number plates hit the roads twice per year, and new designs were introduced in March and September.
The new plates can be installed on brand-new vehicles registered by owners from March 1, 2025.
However, every six months, the DVLA bans a series of plates that could be deemed rude or offensive. Usually, number plates are ditched if they could be considered obscene, homophobic, politically sensitive, or religiously contentious.
For March, officials have confirmed that a whopping 210 plates will face the axe with a full list already being revealed.
Among those included are references to violence such as ‘ST25 ABB’ and ‘US25 WAR’.
Iain Reid, Head of Editorial at Carwow, said: “The twice-yearly plate-change always sparks some interest in the new car market, as car buyers get a kick out of having a new number plate and many are willing to wait for one.
“Many drivers go one step further to express themselves with a personalised plate, but it’s important to ensure not to cause offence.
“Car makers and dealers will be out to take a big slice of new car sales with special offers and tempting finance packages. So, if you’re looking to buy a 25-plate car, look out for models with finance or low-rate finance deals.”
