I stand corrected on the font.

However, on the issue of punishment for those who may use "misrepresented" plates I cannot share your level of concern.

It is not something I would personally do but in the overall scheme of things it is rather insignificant and largely harmless.

ANPR cameras don't seem to have any difficulty with them.

Try telling that to the person who's car has been hit and run and the number plate how it looks given to them as the offending car isn't what it actually is.

A. If altering a number plate to make words is insignificant...why is there a law against it......? Number plate makers who do this should be fined.
B. 99% of the time the word(s) people try and make from the letters bear little to no resemblance to any word in the English language and, quite frankly, make said person look extremely foolish...

Still looks chavvy and they should feel the full force of the law for that alone

No apologies to those on here with altered, 'personalised' plates

I just think the act of misrepresenting a number plate is basically saying you think you can pick and choose what parts of the law apply to you.

I wouldn't buy a car that had a mis-spaced or altered plate in the photos. I'd immediately think the seller was a massive whopper.

I'm all for personal plates though. 6 OLF is absolutely superb. But the moment you feel the need to alter a plate so people know what it means, you've gone too far in my eyes. It's probably also a sign that the plate wasn't very good in the first place, if you have to do that.

This is all just my opinion and obviously other people are going to view it differently. But it's a real bugbear of mine

Most drivers do that every day with speed limits

As do non-white socks with shorts, untucked shirts and the wearing of hats indoors but the general consensus appears to be one of tolerance.

Pre Dvla local councils issued car regs and green log books which were stamped when you taxed your car, the prefix for East Lothian was SS, there's still quite a few cars running around here with SS on their plates. SS1 and SS5 were owned by two spinster sisters who lived in a huge house in Haddington, one of them taught at the local school and used to tell the story of her sister (SS1) being contacted by lawyers for the singer Sandi Shaw to sell the plate, the offer being £100k, a huge amount in those days, they got the rather curt reply 'Sandy Who' ?

In the late 1950's SS1 was on the car driven by the local County Clerk who lived in our village.
A group of us kids would naturally gave it the Hitler salute whenever it passed

I once had OBR 1 T. Was looking for a dyslexic astronaut to buy it. Also offered it to the manager of the local Britannia Inn, known as "The Brit", but eventually had to sell it along with the car.

Just seen L180 on a big shiny Bentley at the golf club.

Gotta be a darts fanatic surely?

Might be a banker.

LIBOR is the London Interbank Offered Rate. But this sometimes referred to as the LIBO rate.

On way back from club earlier I found myself behind a BMW with reg 8 ITS.

Now at my place in a friendly match we’ll have the match prize (maybe £2 each in the pot) plus 20p bits (birdies and sandy saves)

I find such manipulated number plates a bit naff, but this one made me smile. Golfer or no, I also like the idea that the driver can be said to be in bits.

More generally…I did once see RR 1 on a Roller outside Harrods…and Bristol cars used to own 100 MPH … both of which are actually quite cool…rather than manipulated
