REVEALED: The vanity plates deemed too rude for Nevada roads after officials rejected more than 1,000 inappropriate applications last year including FKNSAD, SLZY and PUKD
- A committee of DMV officials in the state of Nevada rejected 1013 vanity plate applications in 2018
- They were determined to violate state codes, which prohibit plates from displaying profanity, sexual innuendos and drug references
- ‘FKNSAD’, ‘BEWBS’ and ‘ASSMAN’ were all considered too rude for Nevada roads
Drivers in Nevada are able pay an extra $20 per year to customize their car with a pair of vanity plates.
But in 2018, officials rejected 1013 requests from motorists who wanted a combination of letters and numbers that violated state codes, according to Reno Gazette Journal.
General DMV staff referred questionable vanity plate applications to a small committee within the agency who met every Tuesday to determine whether the requests were fit for the road.
The group follows strict guidelines, and plates are prohibited from ridiculing all races, genders and ethnic groups.
Plates are also banned from including profanity, as well as sexual, drug or gang references.

DMV staff refer any questionable vanity plate applications to a special committee who are in charge of final decisions
‘The plates that usually make it up to us are the ones that are pretty questionable,’ committee member and DMV administrator Sean McDonald told the newspaper.
‘You can probably guess what comes through’.
Plates determined to contain profanity were the most commonly rejected in Nevada in 2018 – with 449 applications thrown out.
Requests such as ‘FKNSAD’, ‘RAD AF’ and ‘FOOKYEW’ were considered too rude for state roads.
Meanwhile, vanity plates containing sexual references and innuendos accounted for 379 rejections.
‘SLUTTY’, ‘SO DEEP’, ‘SLZY’ and ‘PUCKD’ all violated state codes, the committee determined.
‘ASSMAN’, ‘BEWBS’ and ‘SO DEEP’ were also considered too sexual.

Several of the drivers tried to sneak through the application process by giving interesting reasons for their desired vanity plates.
The motorist who wanted his plates to say ‘PUCKD’ claimed that his son played hockey and that ‘PUCKD’ was merely an abbreviation of ‘hockey dad’.
Elsewhere, the man who applied for ‘SO DEEP’ vanity plates insisted he wasn’t including a naughty sexual innuendo on his car.
Rather, he claimed that ‘SO DEEP’ was the name of his boat which was moored in Lake Tahoe.
Other motorists tried to include drug and gang references on their vanity plates, but they were caught out by the committee, who have honed their eyes with years of experience.
‘GET LIT’ and ‘XXANAXX’ were deemed as drug references by the group.
An application for a vanity plate reading ‘702S13’ was thrown out for being a reference to the MS-13 gang in the state.
‘We have an eye for it because that’s what we do, we look at these every week,’ McDonald told the Reno Gazette Journal. ‘Whereas the public may see something and not realize it can be perceived a different way.’
Meanwhile, the proud Nevada committee members refused to permit a plate that was critical of their state’s biggest city.
They rejected an application for the vanity plate ‘IHA8VGS’ for being ‘derogatory towards a person or group’.
