The SkyTrain is not the only public place where the F-bomb is not welcome. The profanity is among more than 2,000 words, phrases and cryptic strings of letters banned from vanity plates in B.C over the past 20 years.

You can’t drive around calling yourself AAS or BFIIK (ICBC categorized these as “offensive”), CHICKN or DEBDUZ (“suggestive”), EZEE or FATAL (“not in good taste”), GORBY or HITLER (“political”), ISHDOG or JYGGER (“alcohol/drug related”), KRSNA or LOVGOD (“religious”) or MACH7 or NI4SPD (“speed/racing related”).

ICBC released a list of slogans rejected on applications for personalized plates from 1990 to 2010 in response to a Freedom of Information request.

“We will not issue personalized licence plates that combine letters and numbers in a way that may be interpreted as vulgar, indecent or offensive to anyone, or slogans that may distract other drivers or reduce the care they use when driving,” said ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman.

Reasons to reject also include any that conflict with the format used on regularly issued plates.

Some of the rejected requests were obviously controversial, including those that began with the letters FU or used offensive or derogatory terms to describe groups, including several variations of NEWFIE.

Others aren’t so obvious, like BARBRA -- which is how Ms. Streisand, for one, spells her name. ICBC decided it was “not in good taste.”

HLYCOW, DOG, GHOSTS, GODSPD, HEX27, 4GIVEN were rejected on religious grounds and RAGTOP for being offensive and QANADA political.

There were others deemed a no-go because of politics: ANRCHY, OBAMA, CIA, BYBYPQ, FATEH, INDIA, IH8GST, K-WAIT, KIM4PM, MNDELA, NDPNFG, NDP4BC, PLO, QUEBEC, SEPTII, USA, XLOGGR, WELOG and 9II.

The religious rejectees made up a varied list: AMTFU, BAAL, BAHAI9, BISMLA, BLKDVL, BUDDAH, DEMON, DIABLU, EKOKAR, HMUNKA, IXOYE, IOMCAR, JN3:16, MNSTRY, MESSIA, POZEST, POLBOG, RABBI, RK4GGS, SHADDI, SIKH, SINFUL, S8N666, TEDEUM, TRYGOD, VIVIVI, WARLOK, WRSHIP, WICCA, YAHWEH and several other references to GOD.

Car owners are quick to draw attention to their love of alcohol and drugs (and the police?) with probably the greatest number of references, including WINEDR, WINEO, CALONA (for lovers of wine), SUDDS, MOLSON, PABSTI (beer), KAHLUA, HIBAL, GRAPPA, TQUILA (alcohol), ADDICT, DRCRAK, DOPE, GETLIT, MEDS4U, NVR2HI (drugs) and XDRUNK (sobriety).

Others still wanted others to know they presumably liked to drive fast -- RACIN, TOQUIK, SPDPRO, UDLOOZ -- and the list included its fair shar of the juvenile and antisocial: IDIOT, BMYNME.

ICBC issues about 2,600 vanity plates every year and there are about 100,000 of them on the roads, said Grossman.

there is a local white IS that says "owned" lol

it was either the 250 or 350, seen it in richmond a few times

then there are the obvious attention grabbing plates

sl63 with a plate that says sl63, audi s5 that says s5, isf says isf, r8 says r8, seen all of these in richmond

[dangonay]

An old co-worker has 444-BVR. That means there's also a 169-BVR somewhere out there as well.

Funny how ICBC doesn't like speed related ones. I had V8-EATR on a turbo VR6 years ago (not in BC though). Clearly racing related yet it went through.

[dark0821]

and the white evo VIII with green rims that says cptnslo

Yes. This plate is real and was approved.

AAS is prohibited, but the SSA plate on the SL500 I've seen isnt... Causes a double take in your mirrors when you first see it

i think what happens is you submit 5 different ones in your registration, and if all of them are rejected, you get reimbursed for the $100

and then it takes like.. 2-3 months to deliver, if accepted

[Birchum]

THERES A GUY THAT USE TO DRIVE AROUND W/ A "420" PERSONALIZED PLATE IN A 90'S BUICK RIVIERA. I WOULD SEE HIM BLAZING MOST OF THE TIME.
