Just bought myself a private plate direct from the DVLA. Went for DR (my initials) Z4 99. Am I ok to run it with those spacings? DR Z4 99?

Depends on how @rsey the police car behind you is :headbang:
I got pulled for displaying KM02 AMD as KM 02 AMD. All totally legal font etc and the space between the M and 0 wasn’t as big as the type on here had put it, whereas others have clearly manipulated/mis-spaced ones and never get any hassle. When I originally posted about this someone replied saying in a certain area they were issuing fixed penalties by post for mis-spacing but I’ve not experienced that personally. I had a producer and had to get my new plates stamped by an MOT centre
It is illegal with the spacings. I have mine as S7 00 AKH. Not had a problem so far, but I ordered a set of legally spaced ones at the same time and keep them in the boot. If I get pulled I can show Mr plod that I have the legal ones to put on.Sandperson said:
Heard talk of them clamping down more lately as they rely on ANPR which struggles to read mis-spaced plates.
But then I live in the fens; we have our own laws up here (ie none apparently). Bigamy up here is just called marriage. It's also illegal to marry someone not directly related :lol:

Total genius, mate (as are so many of the other brilliant replies on here, btw).tug said:
And I've gotta say - I love the fact that your nickname and plate are "tug". That's either genius, or bonkers - either way, hats off to you!!!
PS: Did you go to the meet recently at Ockham Bites / The Black Swan? You'd have been very popular after dusk, whether you liked it or not
