A raunchy sounding number plate won't be banned by DVLA despite complaints about its rudeness.
One starting with BJ69 was deemed 'too rude' by a van leasing firm, comparing it to a sex position in the Kama Sutra.
Bosses at firm Vanarama revealed details of an incident in which a customer refused to use the van based on the suggestive number plate.
Chiefs at the firm contacted the DVLA to raise the issue that the plate was a 'bit much' for some customers.
A spokesman said that the customer in question turned up to pick up their new van, a Nissan NV400, at its Birmingham showroom this week, but turned it down.
However, the plate was considered "suitable for release" by the government body along with others such as ORG4SM and SHA66R are also allowed to remain on the database.
Speaking to Metro , a spokesperson said: “The vast majority of registration numbers are made available for general issue and for sale.
“We consider the series in question to be suitable for release.”
However, some naughty number plates didn't quite make the cut - with BE19 END and DO19 POO deemed unacceptable in the yearly registration.
Some of the rude plates on sale also include:
ME69 LOL
ME69 GAG
ME69 PSE
LV69 JZZ
BG69 WLY
SX69 DNG
Any plates ending with SEX. BUM and ASS are automatically excluded from the registration list.
ORG4SM is believed to be the most expensive naughty number plate with an estimated value of £150,000 according to motor group carwow.
PEN I55S has previously been sold for £7,990 and SHA66R for £4,490.
Mat Watson, motoring expert at carwow said: “Drivers are always looking at ways to personalise their car, with modern drivers now more than ever seeing it as an extension of who they are and a reflection of their status, so it’s no surprise to see how many vanity plates are on the road." as reported by the Express .
He continues: "Considering there are strict guidelines around what number plate combinations are and aren’t approved, with swear words and saucy acts all previously banned by the DVLA, some of the plates you can get away with are quite surprising providing you’re willing to be creative, and the new numbers certainly give drivers something to work with."
