KIWI motorists are causing offence - not through bad driving, but through rude licence plates.
Adopting the Australian licence plate system of three letters and three numbers has led to a rise in the number of rude combinations on New Zealand's streets.
Personalised plates pulled off cars include DRGDLR, QUICKE and RNUDWN, according to New Zealand Transport Agency records.
Also stripped was the number plate H8PIGS, which was displayed on a former police car.
Since the Aussie look replaced the two letter, four number combination in 2001, the transport agnecy has also banned plates that threaten police and advertise drugs, along with 25 letter combinations like ARS, BUM, CUN, DUM, FAK and FAT.
These were chosen "because they are considered as either likely offensive or undesirable by a large number of vehicle owners", the agency told The Dominion Post.

Banned plates
ANC, ARC, ARS, ***, BAD, BAG, BAT, BRA, BUM, BUT, CNT, CUM, CUN, DUM, EBA, EZE, EZY, FAG, FAK, FAT, ******, FCM, FCN, FDA, ******, FUC, FUZ
Personalised plates that were issued and later recalled include: 18750 (American slang for police murder), 4QANC, 50KILA, DALIPS, DRGDLR, H8ACC, HOBNGR, JAPSUX, KCUFME, MDAFKR, OLDKNT, PIZZDA, PLICK, QUICKE, RNUDWN, RSWYPE, SIKCNT, TAMPON, TBAGGD and WEBUYP.

Is there any plates combos in Australia that are banned or just on a case ny case basis?

Why on earth would people get number plates like that anyway? They look stupid and aren't even funny. There's a VL commo in my area with the plates "WETNOW" and everytime I see it I say wtf.

[pottery beige]

I know transport SA wouldn't let me have.. MADSHT....

[braddyxe51]

I read somewhere the other day that they want to stop model spacific plates but I cant see that happening.

[GS608]

Usually the obvious ones are denied straight away but the not so obvious recalled eventually, i know a bloke who had 6ULDV8 and it ended up being recalled

[ebxr82nv]

theres a 300zx in newcastle with WETUP. I think with the way the authorities are going with the whole "stop the street racing" crap their carrying on with they'll stop issuing anything with potential race starting words, a couple from my area are 321CYA, SEEYAH and BCNYA and then theres always the multitude of commos and jap cars with the 8U as the last 2 characters.

There is VL Commodore (what else) running around the northern edge of melbourne with the rego FDALAW. I wonder how he goes when the pull him over..

[foxtrot3]

Hi a guy at work has CBFBRO and says I should get personalized plates and I just say CBF to him. Cheers MD

[saam]

how about this one, and i know who the guy is, he works with me

ido69, took him 2 years to get those plates approved becasue he took on the system and won

I think QLD Transport caught onto these "antisocial" plate combos early. Since there are many cars getting around that would otherwise have them. Instead they must suffice with stickers on the rear window. Poor darlings.

[UNR8D]

ive had 57OLN and HORN E both issued in QLD and both not an issue.

over the namby pamby crap people carry on with regarding the save the children crap, politically correct bs.. in fact alot of the stuff I do is just to get a rise out of the tight *****.

mate had FARQUE refused, even after he told them he was a professional billiards player that needed a longer que than everyone else because he's short, so that makes it a FAR away shot from the QUE.
they didnt agree. wonder why.

[UNR8D]

^^ lol either way love the reason given :P

[Nickxb]

I saw one that was RDRAGE the other day....

[XR6_661]

[MAD]

BAhaha!

I know a guy that has BOOBS (VIC plates)
has had them for around 10-12 years...

Surname is Booby (hahah yeah i know)....

Haven't been on a car for a long time... but he's still got the plates...

[RedHotGT]

VICROADS can take plates back... and they have been known to issue the same plate twice...

My good mate here has got the proof (he still has the duplicate issued plates at home)...

He ordered and received XCAV-8 (he owns excavators)...
Had them on the car for 12 months, and came time to re-register the car...
VICROADS told him that they will not register the car with those numberplates... as they are already issued to a vehicle...
He had been driving with them for 12 months... and stood firm basically and said that he ordered and received the plates, so they are his...
Basically, they told him that the car would be UNREGISTERED unless he chose a different combination for his plates... so (free of charge and transfers) he got to pick a new combination (he chose XCVA-8) and the problem was sorted...
BUT - he still has the original set that he refuses to give in...

Makes you wonder how many other duplicate sets there are out there... (and they can't say it doesn't happen - because it does!)

[buggo]

There's an RX8 round my way with the plates 'RAC3M3

[aussie muscle]

most of those 'offensive' plates don't even mean anything to me (or i'm too dumb to work them out). how many does average churchy doo-gooder (the only people likely to be offended) know? probably even less.

[RedHotGT]

I had a mate who was going to order
MYXDHO on the premis that it was going to go on an XD Falcon

But really it was a message to his 'lovely' ex wife...

[braddyxe51]

1 Plate well known in WA is UNOTIHS. So when ya look in mirror it reads SHITONU
There are so many plates around that are just stupid and take awhile to figure what it means.
Seen one the other day Pink/white plates LIL SIS with a fat chick driving.

[ROLLI]

There used top be a VS clubby around my area with URMYHO there is a commo getting round as well with OMGBT1 hahaha

[Davebro]

Its caus plates over here are dirt cheap, one off fee and you dont pay any yearly fee to have them.

So any idiot can own one!

[THE4RD]

I tried Vicroads website for BIGDIK and it came back as being available and then a little while later it came back with the reponse "That combination is inapproriate". How would they know?

[Davebro]

Well you would be if you got that plate!

[TUF_302]

i tryed to get HIJAKD for my 4wd, but of course it was classed as inappropriate
