I am trying to find it now (with no success yet but I will keep looking) but I seem to recall some research some years ago, I think in the UK, that showed a link between personalised number plates with script that seemed to ''encourage dangerous driving, speeding and/or drink driving'' and related driving offences and, if so, this might be the rational for this decision. Perhaps if this is the case it is also justified although perhaps the "chicken and egg" situation does arise.

I think the (NSW) RTA got it right when they first brought them out. I believe they were then called 'Vanity Plates'.

And I'm inclined to agree with this opinion (below in quotes) as I find myself often using the W adjective to personal plate drivers who more often seem to be more the aggressive/ hooning/ tailgating/ and/or lane switching drivers. But that's probably why they and their ego chose the personalised plates rather than the plates influencing their behaviour. Yes there are some perfectly well behaved drivers with personalised plates but there does seem from my casual observation to be more bad drivers that have personalised plates. Still half as bad as the old Ute driver who followed me a few inches from my bumper while I maintained the speed limit the other day with "U Are The C**T" printed in reverse on his bonnet, and on another occasion I saw him switch at the last minute from the right lane to take a left lane exit he'd already passed on the Roe Freeway cutting across the painted island and forcing to cars to brake heavily. A road rage issue just waiting to happen.

Not sure if it's Urban Legend or true ......
After a bit of time and a number of people at the Rego place, wondering why someone would want and pay for an innocuous Personalised Plate. They refused. Plate : 6ULDV8 |

An acquaintance has a far more risque plate to do with pursuits of the flesh, he’s amazed it hasn’t been recalled.
Would the snowflakes be offended by “WLM2”? |

Greyhound's a little more imaginative. Some of their bus trailer use PUP.

I must have lived a very sheltered life as I have to admit to not "getting" many of the plates suggested in here.
Did hear a story a while ago about a plate someone had gotten away with for a long time that seemed inoffensive enough when viewed the right-way-around but was quite different when viewed in reverse through rear-view mirror...but frustratingly cannot recall what it was |

Just my own personal opinion.
I reckon anyone with private plates is a bit of a tosser!... Vanity plates is a good descriptor. But I defend this blokes choice in having these plates for his torana, and have signed the petition for him. This is still Australia is it not?? Lot of hipster decisions coming out of Victoria recently. No fishing, No F#&king, No camping, BLM more than ALM. No footy for us West Aussies. And now no number plates that he has already had for years.... (Again just a bit tongue in cheek for all the SNOFLKS) Political Correctness. Im over it |
