Number plates

[pjm007]

Hello,

What would the penalty be for displaying car number plates that are not in the legal font ?

Thanks in advance.

�80 fine.

Judging from the number that I see each week on the roads, this doesn't seem to be actively enforced.

Just out of interest (I'm not having a go, I'm really interested) why would you want to do so?

Driving with illegal number plates is not something that should be taken lightly. Motorists can be fined up to �1,000 for displaying an illegal number plate and a number plate supplier could be fined up to �5,000 for carrying on business whilst unregistered. �

Although it is usually dealt with by Fixed Penalty Notice or a Vehicle Defect Rectification Notice

I see dozens of blatant ones.

How about "BIG JED"

I saw this which should read B16 JED but the 6 had a bit missing to look like a G.

The police do bu55er all.


One near us on an Aston Martin "DORIAN" clear as you like, a local bighead called Dorian,

The number should be DOR 14N

It is amazing what you can achieve with different coloured screw caps.

change them.
most of the time - �30 fixed penalty notice.

i have a german car and adopted the german type plate for a few weeks, got stopped and fined- rightly so.

changed back to clean, fresh and new standard ones,

i have to be honest , the amount of dodgy plates, fonts, spacing, screws in etc , and the new style ones.

its nice to see a clean set of older standard plates .

change em over dude, just not worth the fine or the hassle.
