Thanks. Is there any way of knowing how close we are to getting K-reg?

I went for a random slightly higher example to avoid possible personalised plates. As it is, KAA1 appears unissued as yet.

Well we are up-to JLM roughly,They have to get to JZZ before KAA comes in.They generally miss out 'Q' and 'V' in the grouping of letters along the way.

It could be a bit messy having a JZZ on the back of your car

No joke- apparently NZTA vetoed an application for FARQ2.
No sense of humour, those officials.

I've read that there's no suck plate as FUK, and others that don't fit PC.

Yep, JMQ reg today. Different AA and VTNZ outlets are often a letter ahead or behind, depending on their stock pile of plates on hand.

Here's the info from wiki:
Since the change to the LLLnnn format, the letters I,O and X have appeared only on plates starting with "AAI", "AAO" and "AAX" respectively; presumably the potential for confusing these letters with numbers and other similar looking letters was only realised after those initial series. Current plates eschew the letters I, O, V, and X.
The issuers have avoided some three-letter combinations, mainly to avoid offence. Excluded combinations include:
GAY was one combination allowed as it was deemed not to be offensive, but the NZTA shortly afterwards recalled several plates in the GAY series because they were combined with undesirable number combinations, such as plates GAY690 through GAY699.[4]
BMW dealers have bought up the complete range starting with the letters "BMW" for use as semi-personalised plates. Kia cars have appeared with "KIA"-prefixes, and Hyundai cars with "HYU"-prefixes. The issuers have reserved plates starting with "CCC" and "DCC", presumably for diplomatic vehicles. The combinations EBA, FCC, and FNA-FNZ,G(A-H)A were excluded for as yet unknown reasons.

So GAY was allowed, but BAD was not? God forbid anyone should have BRA on their car

Why have GAY but not JEW? is that not discrimination against Jewish people saying they are not welcome on our road but homosexuals are?

Kim dot com was allowed 'POLICE'. I thought that would have been restricted from civilian use. GAY is a common name and I understand that one. I once say the plate IMGAY. Yes, a lady was driving it!

When my cuz was in England, she had something like P1SSD, and ever drunk wanted to buy her car.
