Possibly going to get my ass handed to me here, but why the hate for incorrectly spaced plates?

I think it's downright chav, and illegal, to put screws on plates and use fonts etc to make letters and numbers look like something different - You might as well put a fake plate on your car, totally unacceptable and illegal.

But moving some spaces around? The plate spells EXACTLY the same as before, it's not misleading, it's obvious that it's a genuine number plate, the letters and numbers are perfectly legible, nobody can dodge a speeding fine that way, why should it be illegal?
Because the law says so. That is the law. You could equally argue why wear a seat belt? Or use indicators? Because it is a legal requirement. It is not a defence to ignore the law because you disagree with that law. If it were there would be precious few prosecutions.
Personally, I would say a SAFETY item such as a seatbelt is MUCH more important and nothing like a number plate? I'm pretty sure nobody has died from changing a space on their number plate? Likewise indicators - stop accidents, a plate doesn't.

It's just reading some posts on this thread from users getting really upset that someone has removed a space from their numberplate!
A illegal numberplate is not actually the problem, it's a just a symptom. The real problem is the attitude to the law that says my own personal vanity is far more important to me than any need to comply with whatever the legal requirements are.
Agreed not unlike the "How do I get off the speeding offence I just got stopped for" posts. Sadly many individuals will not accept either the consequences that follow their own selfish actions or their responsibility in making those decisions. "It isn't fair" seems to be the modern mantra to all self inflicted failure.

Not so much vanity but stupidity. These cretins are under the impression that everyone thinks they look good. No, you don't. You've advertised to the world that you are a feckless moron. But they make me laugh!

...plus this from the goodwood super car sunday.

Found in the 'Real Good plates' thread, but due to the butchering it really needs to be seen in here. As bad a case of deliberate misrepresentation as I've seen.


(full size so that the butchery can be clearly seen wink )

Thank you. As I have said before on here unreadable IMO. Why anyone would want the hassle of running illegal pates is beyond me. Absolutely crap.

Indeed Why, Oh Why! Must be the sort of punter that drives such cars. You would hope sense would prevail!
