Shiny new number plate

[pvr]

Of course ANPR can read it - when I drive in France I can see my plate being displayed with "Trop Vitesse" on the overhead sign. And it is hardly a French format plate.

I'd be interested to see if anyone has had a fine in the last few years for non-standard plates?

I have two cherished reg numbers improperly spaced, one of which I don't even bother changing for MoT these days - and none of them have the issuing makers details on - but never been stopped, warned pr fined despite regularly driving from West Wales to Dover and back. Probably because these days theres hardly a bobby to be seen on the roads.

Its my little reaction to being regulated to death over complete and utter nonsense. Your average ANPR device could read a plate in cyrillic script if it wanted to.

We know Jonny got fined for not running a front plate.

Regarding the spacing, the funny thing is you are more likely to remember a plate if it's been spaced wrong as it normally spells out a word which isn't so obvious spaced correctly.

I went to my local BMW dealer and got a set made up with there details on so looks factory for £8 each plus vat, I must admit I was in shock, and the best bit the parts guy made them there and then, they are aluminium plates great quality and I'm well pleased

£8 a plate from a stealer is very good value. I think I got mine off eBay for £10 the pair.

I asked the BMW dealer I got my car from to make me some up for me for my personal plate and they did them for free which I thought was good service...although they would have made a few grand from my trade in so not really that great service! as you say they are nice aluminium ones

I got a £60 fine for my plate and all I had altered was one number moved one space ,
From this N9 EFF to this N 9EFF ,So some people do get caught :thumbsdown:

put new plates on mine with just a plain black GB on the left so no need for stickers when in France etc and a set of plate mounts that clip together so no visible screws about £60 all in if I remember smartens the car up no end.
