A blue BMW X5 spotted in Farnborough this morning...
P8MPE
...but what on earth is that supposed to mean, I hear you ask?
Well, it had Portsmouth Football Club badges at both ends of the plate, instead of a GB/EU national identifier at the beginning of the plate...
As a Saints fan, I would recommend immediate forfeiture of the plate, the car and indeed lifelong liberty P8MPE

Hows this score on the Crappometer......
MERC on a scabby SLK
Looked dodgy at first glance......on looking again with obvious disbelief the M was badly butchered from what appeared to be N4.
What a total cock plate.
And one more illegal chav plate Plod will no doubt be pulling.....
N4ERC does indeed show as a Blue Mercedes 350 SLK. The illegibility of the plate does indeed make this illegal OTR.MERC on a scabby SLK

Very sensible response. I have to say I do cringe at plates that have non standard fonts and bolts between letters to try and make other letters, but I don't automatically think the guys must be a serial law breaker.
Ever since I was a kid, I've always loved personal plates and we spent many journeys on the motorway spotting 'nice plates'
I will confess to buying the wife a numberplate from DVLA when the 11 plates came out. It was sold by DVLA to read her name, it looks a lot better (in my opinion, but evidently not from some people on this thread) with a space after a letter rather than before. It's standard font, standard everything bar 1 space being moved to the right by 1 character. Never been stopped by the old bill, we have ANPR car parks round our way which the car is registered to and we get billed each month with no problem.
It does make me chuckle to see how worked up people get about these things.
Obviously I don't speed, so you can't tar me with that brush
Indeed, folk like Jaguar Steve and Steffan make me fear for the future of the human race (OK, an overstatement, but you know what I mean...) Why the hell do they get worked up about something that is so bloody utterly inconsequential?

The term 'get a life' springs to mind...
I also bought my wife a mispaced plate, and I have had mine mispaced for 18 years on multiple cars, I love them, and I even have to admit to being stopped for speeding ( oh I feel double dirty writing this ) and the nice pair of chap coppers complimented me on my plate, which was mispaced, saying if all plates were like that then in accident situations, it would make their lives alot easier.
/The irony.
Opinions - including mine - don't really matter that much.
What ought to matter though is, regardless of your personal opinion on illegal Chavplates if you think about them for long enough, sooner or later you'll just have to conclude they represent either the Platees ignorance of the law, the Platees arrogance in thinking the law doesn't apply to them or the Platees vanity in taking the view that disregarding the law is worth doing to satisfy their ego.
Ignorance, arrogance and vanity. Those are undeniably the three most prominent atributes you'd find in almost any Essex Chav you were unfortunate enough to encounter. That's where the underlying problem lies and that's not a pretty picture at all.
