Police Officer's view please - no. plate spacing

[trinitycall]

Hi,

Just a quick one on the police officers application of the rules pertaining to number plate spacing.

Without going into detail on the applicable regulations, I understand the rules pertaining to spacing apply from 2001 onwards and does not operate retrospectively.

Accordingly, if a car's number plate is older than 2001 then do police officer's pretty much ignore that car's numberplate spacing?

Regards,

The Fashion Police, and other arbiters of 'cool' will get you though!

Err no. IIRC the spacing rules have applied since June 1972 I believe. The 2001 onwards thing is the correct font and applies to all numberplates made since then.

Thanx also for the "fashion police" comment above. Point well made and duly noted.

I was just asking as i was asked a question and wasn't sure (honestly)
