Not recently, far from it in fact, but I did see PEN15 on a red Merc 190 about 20 years ago :-)

I believe Chris Tarrant used to own this plate ( PEN 1S )

£5.5 K in 1997.

Oooh....I think I would have defended you, I KNOW that is mis-spaced and I would rather it was not, but I just can't call that crappy..

You can call it illegal though. And that's a fact, not a matter of opinion.

So is setting cruise control at 75mph on a motorway, but thousands do it daily, nothing bad happens and even the scamera vans don't bother with them.

Life becomes a little difficult to reconcile if one chooses only to see things in black or white.

Both illegal of course. But the difference between occasionally nudging a few mph over the limit, possibily quite justifiably or maybe inadvertently and very blatently sticking two fingers up at the law for no other reason than you're convinced bolstering your fragile ego is far more important than any obligation to display a legal numberplate is huge.

Thats the real issue here, the fkuc the law egotistical attitude illegal plates represent.

Agreed. There are worse crimes but that is absolutely no defence to planned deliberate daily law breaking.

I'd suggest that setting your cruise control at 75mph is deliberate and planned too, rather than accidental which would imply you were too incompetent to operate your vehicle.

Your own logic here has just made some laws more applicable than others based upon your own personal views on what is acceptable and what is not. That's rather hypocritical.

I'm a massive fan of your work Mr Hebden, any chance of an autograph?

Cadillac used to say in their advertisements "A man is known by his automobile"

Seems it is true at both ends of the social scale!

Correct spacing is W1 LDL

I'd rather the police do something worthwhile rather than running around telling people off for having a space in the wrong place on the number plate

Does it effect anything like confusing ANPR or anything?

Probably confuses ANPR, but the main issue, and the reason the police should be doing something, is that it makes it much easier to trace vehicles involved in crime. Imagine your child was knocked over by a hit-and-run driver and the only witness had the numberplate remembered as "AMITT P" - which was actually AM11 TTP.

But that isn;t simple mis spacing is it?

I agree using screws and what not to alter letters needs stopping but for example NV53 UMA or NV5 3UMA is only mis-spaced and makes no difference, some people on this thread see a plate not altered but mis-spaced and act like he's just tried to Saville one of their kids!

But then where do you draw the line? Either it's a blanket rule (as now), or it's subjective and you end up with a huge grey area about what's ok and what's not. I suspect a large amount of the police tend to turn a blind eye to readable but spaced incorrectly but you can't complain if you take he risk and get a fine for it.

I've just said where I'd draw the line

If it is simply mis-spaced then crack on, if you are changing how the letters look ie changing a D into a B then lynch the fkers

Im with Danny on this...spot on

+1 agreed

Yes. And unlawful spacing.
