This is Joy from Dubmeister.

We've just been contacted by the DVLA crime reduction unit.

There's going to be a huge crackdown on use of German plates and other show plate types, with a push to enforce £60 fines, confiscation of plates and possibly confication of any private registrations allocated to your vehicle. ie if you've got A16V GT as a private plate, they'll remove it and force you back to whatever the original car's registration was.

Legislation is going through parliament at the moment and be in force next year that will TOTALLY BAN all non ligitimate number plates. The reasoning behind this is anti-terrorism and anti-crime reasons.

Whilst we are happy to supply 'show plates' (strictly for show use) and are allowed to by the DVLA, until this comes about we have to comply with the DVLA who are closely watching us. (And if you think buying from US or German suppliers, don't, because they are watching them too, as are the VAT inspectors from what we've been told).

If anybody has any queries or questions we are happy to answer them on the phone 01275 851069 or email sales@dubmeister.co.uk.

We simply do not want any more dubbers collecting £60 fines and hassle.
The DVLA don't really want to see show plates on or off the road but for now they are powerless to prevent their use offroad at shows etc. But big brother is definitely on it's way. From what we gather, this is lead by the much talked about charges for use of certain roads like London's congestion charge and that's the reason for wanting plates to be read by roadside cameras etc.

German plates, etc with stadt stickers come up as foreign plates and don't get read by the roadside cameras for congestion charging. Now you see why they want them banned.

What are we going to do about this.....wait and see....we think we have the answer.

Best regards to all

Joy
