BO55 Number plates
Discussion
I encountered an Audi with the registration BO55 YEA on the M40 this morning.
It was being driven in a stereotypically dangerous manner - aggressively tailgating, undertaking and abrupt weaving between lanes.
I think it’s a good thing that by displaying a BO55 plate, twunts like this give the general public due warning of the danger they are likely to pose.

It looks more like 'Bogs'
If there's one thing more pitiful than a 'BO55 plate', it's a plate that isn't a 'BO55' plate and is a cut price one that looks like you work in municipal convenience cleaning. Or any half arsed attempt to buy a plate that looks like something, but in actual fact, its only the driver than knows what it's supposed to say out of a possible 3 or 4 things if you squint a bit.

From the DVLA's perspective these 805S numberplates are really just a tax on posers, so helps slightly to keep the tax bill down a bit for the rest of us.If there's one thing more pitiful than a 'BO55 plate', it's a plate that isn't a 'BO55' plate and is a cut price one that looks like you work in municipal convenience cleaning.

Presumably those numberplates can be sold because they were just never issued in 1977 as they had no value at the time. Back then, it was before Instagram, so nobody was interested in photos of someone standing next to their Morris Marina wearing Primark aviators.....
The above post re the 70s does raise another question in my mind:
20-25 years ago, the must-have badge of honour for a perennial bell-end was a number plate starting with B16. So if your name is Mohammed Li Smith (to pick three popular names) then you might have B16 MLS. As the owners of said plates were generally short and angry men, I think most intended to imply that they had a big willy, rather than any affiliation with the Honda Civic or a very short-lived isotope of boron.
Then at some point in the intervening years the B16s have been replaced with BO55s and similar.
So, what will come next?

Small world! I've been seeing that car for the last week around the NW200, sat beside it I had to take a picture! Funnily enough I heard two chaps in front of me having an interesting conversation about 'BOSS' plates obviously triggered by this fine example.
I was also on the way back from the NW200. The range rover was part of a team as the driver and passengers all had team logos on

Bit of a cheek the DVA selling these 805S plates, knowing rightly that people will misrepresent them to read BOSS, exactly what they preach is not allowed and reserve the right to remove the reg etc.
805S doesn't really need misrepresenting 
but I hear what you are saying in general terms. lolTimmyMallett said:

Was it parked on the zig zags? It's it's second home there.
B1G 8055 is ONLY acceptable if it's been owned by Bruce Lee
