A number of new eyebrow-raising registration plates have passed the DVLA's taste test.

Anything that refers to a private body part is always prohibited - but a number of naughty registrations have been deemed acceptable.

And the new '69' plate for motors registered between September, 2019, and February, 2020, offers up a host of interesting messages, reports Wales Online .

Some of the rude plates on sale for up to £499 include:

BJ69 HED

ME69 LOL

ME69 GAG

ME69 PSE

LV 69 JZZ

BG 69 WLY

SX 69 DNG

Normally the banned list contains plates with naughty phrases or words that are likely to cause offence - including those of a racial, religious or political nature.

The DVLA hosts specialised meetings twice a year to weed out the potentially offensive plates.

This is performed by actual people rather than specialised machines, in order to prevent any slipping through the net.

On the new prohibited list, which was released in February , a DVLA spokesperson said: “The vast majority of registration numbers are made available but the Agency holds back any combinations that may cause offence, embarrassment or are in poor taste.

“Many people enjoy displaying a personalised registration number and there are over 50 million registrations available on our website, with almost endless possibilities of combinations to suit a person’s taste, interests and budget.”

Regarding some of the '69' plates available for sale, a DVLA spokesman said: "The vast majority of registration numbers are made available for general issue and for sale, and the numbers in question were deemed suitable for release."
