Any British war hawks may be disappointed to find that GO22 war isn’t allowed, while anybody with a foul mouth won’t be allowed swearing-related combinations such as F22 CKK and BA22 ARD.

The list, which was sent to car express following a freedom of information request, also includes combinations like BL22 JOB, PU22 say and TO22 SER. 
Some serious thought goes into deciding which number plates need to go on the DVLA’s list of suppressed registrations. twice a year, the public body tasks its best and brightest with finding every combination of the newly released format that shouldn’t see the light of day.
