Still,i wouldn't call this a bug.Weird plates also happens IRL.

You are right but I knew that SCS did some work to avoid these combinations. I also saw another report with a KKK license plate.
Anyways, this is a PEGI 3 game so I don't think this combinations are good

Not in the UK the DVLA ban rude or potentially offensive number plates.

I don't think WTF would be banned outright, but OM63 WTF is banned.

I think it depends highly on the people who you talk to where ever you get your plates made. My band used to make jokes about what the "name of the song" was when we were tuning up, and we came up with some pretty off the wall stuff. Some of it was pretty cryptic and you would have to know what it meant to think it would offensive. Another example of that was the name of an album released by the band Blackfoot in 1983. The band told their record company the name was a Blackfoot Indian word for "closeness" or "togetherness". If they knew that was actually an acronym and or what it meant, they probably wouldn't have allowed them to use it. In fact, they might have refused to release the album at all, as that was about a year before Congress was considering putting explicit lyric warning labels on records, which I would think would also cover album names. But they didn't know and released the album.

My point is, say I go to get "personalized" license plates for my car, and I give them some word to put on the plates that they don't know, I could tell them it means anything that I want to. And as long as they don't think there's anything wrong with it, they would take my money, and my plates would be made and sent to me.

Doesn't work like that here Axel. You can't just go into a shop and have plates made (unless it's a replacement for existing ones).

You have to go through the DVLA website if you want to get a personalised plate. You search the registration you want and it will give you a list of available options, as you can probably guess banned ones won't show up. £80 to switch the registration, price to have the plates made, and also the price of the plate itself OS54 WTF would cost £499 for example. Crazy.

I don't think "WTF" would be banned.
I was curious and in France only the assembly of "SS" is illegal.

[Mohegan13]

DVLA are idiots. WTF isn't banned even though the F is a swear. But OM64 WTF is banned because of the OMG part. It's really ridiculous.

Anyway, given that the UK would allow that number plate it's assigned to a VAUXHALL MOKKA X ACTIVE TURBO S/S 2017 in real life, I checked, I think we can consider it NOT A BUG unless the devs think the WTF part doesn't fit with the age 3 rating.

well if the plate format sequence is available In real life, then there should be NO problem with it, even in a PG13 game.

incidentally in Germany. (click on the quote for the full article)

Various combinations that could be considered politically unacceptable – mainly due to implications relating to Nazi Germany – are disallowed or otherwise avoided.[5] The district Sächsische Schweiz used the name of its main town, Pirna, in its code PIR, to avoid the use of SS, the name of the paramilitary organization; similarly SA is also unused. Although between 1945 and 1949 the French occupation force used the combination SA followed by the double-digit numbers 01 to 08 for the then seven rural districts in the Saar Protectorate and its capital Saarbrücken. In 2004 in Nuremberg, a car owner was refused a number plate beginning N-PD because of the connection to the political party the NPD.[citation needed] The combinations STA-SI, HEI-L, IZ-AN and WAF-FE are also avoided, to avoid association with Stasi, the Nazi salute, NAZI backwards and the German word for weapon respectively.

Banned combinations also include the Nazi abbreviations HJ (Hitlerjugend, Hitler Youth), NS (Nationalsozialismus, National Socialism), SA (Sturmabteilung), SS (Schutzstaffel), KZ (Konzentrationslager, concentration camp) and often SD (Sicherheitsdienst). Some registration offices have overlooked this rule by mistake, however, and there are a few cars registered carrying prohibited codes, such as B-SS 12. Some counties also allow these combinations if they are the initials of the owner (for example: Norbert Schmidt might be able to get XX-NS 1234), but in this case, if the car is sold and re-registered in the same county by the new owner, the number can be changed (otherwise the number stays with the car until it registered in a different area). However, the combination HH (which could be interpreted as Heil Hitler) is used for the city of Hamburg, first introduced in 1906. It stands for the city's title Hansestadt Hamburg (Hanseatic City of Hamburg). The combination AH (which could be interpreted as Adolf Hitler) is used for the district of Borken. It is derived from Ahaus that had its own district until 1974.

In Brandenburg no new plates that are related to Hitler, the Hitler salute, other Nazi symbols, etc. can be issued, especially plates that have digits 1888, 8818, 8888 or ending in 88, 888, 188. The combinations AH 18 and HH 18 cannot also be issued to new owners.[6]

Other combinations affected are BUL-LE (German derogative for police, roughly comparable to *pig*),[7] MO-RD (German for murder)[8] and SU-FF (*being drunk*).
