Hey folks, gonna order a private plate this morning just trying to find the one i want i found N55OOT which i want to make to look like N5 5COT obviosuly with the use of of something.

Any ideas how the police take to this these days ? or even how it can be done ?

What you think of the plate ?

 

Plate looks ok, it's always difficult to tell what the police will say about plates as there are a few ok-ish coppers out there these days who will just give you a warning rather than do you for it whereas some coppers will still be arsey about it.

If you get reported for it twice (i think) the DVLA can take your number plate off you though.

 

As above all depends on the area. I made me mate Jim this plate on his Clio V6: Reads G11 OVG!!!! Been stopped once i think and thats it!

Yeah depends wether the coppers getting it off his missus or not...

If not he might try and fook you, i got a fine for a normal plate that jsut had a very slight lean to the writing

 

don't ever come over here then, the coppeers are complete arseholes about them!

My mum and my dad have both got personalised plates, legal lettering but they just changed the spacing, coppers pulled them both over within a week of having them, saying they couldn't read the plates

 

Any alternative spacing to the standard issue can result in a fine, and if they repeatedly pull you for it they can confiscate the plate.

 

Around this way Scott they are arse's! I always got pulled for mine and it wasnt even illegaly spaced

 

If you've got anything else on your car that you could pulled for avoid illegally spaced plates. If they see your plate, they'll pull you over and check the rest of the car over while they have your there.

I gave up with my "dodgey" plate and put a legal one on it, after getting stopped twice.

Mine's R1TH B but I changed the 1 for a lower case "L" so it looked like Ruth - suppose I was asking to get stopped really and they did me for my tints too

 

never had any bother with mine and the spacing - see picture in my siggy

 

It's easy policing. They can knobble you and fine you and the clear up and detection rate scores nicely again for them.

I gave up years ago when my set of dodgy fonted plates landed me in court

 

I think altering the letters to spell a name is sad

But each to there own.

 

I saw that the other day, he followed me off the A130 at Woodham Ferrers. Wasnt stickered up though when I saw it.

 

I have had my plates on for nearly four years and I've never been stopped. Well I've been stopped but they've never mentioned the plates!

I don't know if you can quite see it in my sig. but two of the fours overlap and there's illegal spacing between the last 4 and the E and also between the S and the F. I see a lot worse on the roads, at least mine are in the correct font and size.

 

I got a small personalised plate on the front of my car, I got stopped the other day and they looked at it and didnt even mention it and im in london! Most of the time you can just say you will change back and they are show plates left on by accident? seems to work for a m8 of mine!

 

Both my private plates are legal now, can't be arsed with the aggro. That said, if you think some of the bike plates are small, you should have seen the ones I used to run a few years back...........letters and numbers were 2.5 inches high - the whole plate only measured 8 inches long by 4 inches high......... back in the days when I really didn't give a shite !!!!

 

Wes thats because they were probably inbred mate

 

Had mine like this for over 3 years, havent been pulled yet even been followed by coppers
