Saudi Arabian authorities have banned vanity plates which it deems offensive. Personalised plates are popular with Saudi youth and as many as 90,000 “lewd” plates will have to be replaced.
Included in the list of banned custom plates, are “SEX”, “BAD” and “ASS. Curiously, “USA” is at the top of the prohibited listing. “BAR” is deemed offensive because of the Kingdom’s alcohol prohibition laws.
Of course, this ban doesn’t affect females of Saudi Arabia for the simple fact they are banned from driving full stop. They have to make do with wearing T-shirts emblazoned with number plates to make their point.
