- State department has banned Safer Hassan's license plate '370H55V'
- It has been on his Lamborghini for three years without any problems
- Now Texas Department for Motor Vehicles have banned 'offensive' plates
Authorities in Texas have banned a seemingly-innocent personalized number plate after three years attached to a swish Lamborghini.
Now its Houston owner Safer Hassan has 30 days to get rid of the license plate '370H55V' - after the Texan Department for Motor Vehicles saw it spelled 'A**HOLE' upside-down.
The authority has written Mr Hassan a letter explaining that the license plate would be cancelled in a month, writing: 'It has been determined that the personalization is offensive'.

Cheeky: The real license plate on the left hand side - but look what it reads when it is turned upside down
Owner Safer Hassan said he plans to appeal the decision by the Texan Department for Motor Vehicles
Mr Hassan told TV news programme KPRC-TV that he disagreed with the judgement.
'I think that the state is overreaching their boundaries', he said, adding he plans to appeal the decision.
