In random news today a Stockholm motorist has been refused the number plate of his dreams after being told FCKU2MF is too offensive. The Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen) group said the request was rejected as guidelines say that car plates should not be formed in a way that could cause upset to other drivers.

According to The Local, other combinations, spelling out Beetle, HEINEKN, Come On, My BMW, Gestapo and Sexyboy, have also previously been turned down by the group. The rules also state that registrations must not encroach on established trademarks.

The process of applying for personalised number plates in Sweden takes around ten days and costs SEK 6,000 (USD 748). Slogans can be made up from a combination of numbers and letters but must be between two and seven characters long, including spaces.
