Penalty for "dodgy" number plate

[Petrus1983]

It's only my opinion but slagging off people's kids into a forum discussion is pretty low, but that's just me. Enjoy the thread - I'm out.

What kind of name is Keston? It's alright though, my son; N666 DCJ will bully him for it in the schoolyard.

Before you go off in a huff, ( which is a car i have always wanted) just a location question.. do you live in North London? say around Hampstead/Golders Green/Barnet? or further East in N16?

The name does suggest a Jewish bloodline, in which case there is no way that he will have the piss taken out of him at school.

Judging from that reaction I'm guessing he's not the first person to mention it.

Not meant to be a dig as such but I'd be worried people would shorten it to Kes (although the younger generation are unlikely to know of the film).

Or ask if he got the name for the same reason as Brooklyn Beckham.

Mis-spaced plates are a pet hate of mine - because they're illegal for no discernible reason?
I get the hate for misrepresenting letters etc as but moving the spacing between the letters....why is it an issue?

ANPR will pick it up NO PROBLEM AT ALL....likewise I can read it NO PROBLEM AT ALL. Why is it an offense other than just to make some money from selling plates via the DVLA that have to be mis-spaced to justify their cost?

Yes it's illegal, but so is speeding - I bet everyone on here has and does that on a regular basis

Oh and before some smart ass pops up, I don't have a personal plate.

If one must speed then that is probably occasional, but a plate is 24/7, like, forever.

So the OP is in the army and 9guessing from the "boss" descritpion) likely to be of Hossifer status. Not sure about the modern touchy-feely army but, back in the day, the punishment for such tacky behaviour should have been:

Committing a Civil Offence contrary to s.70 of the Army Act 1955, in that he did, on or about 2016, use on the road a number plate having intentionally mis-spaced characters. £100 fine.

Conduct to Prejudice of Military Discipline contrary to s.69 of the Army Act 1955 in that he did, on or about 2016, mis-display a "personal" number plate in such a way as to make himself look a cock to his subordinates. 2 years.

Scandalous Conduct by an Officer contrary to s.64 of the Army Act 1955, in that he did, by mis-displaying a number plate, cause widespread public outrage as evidenced by the majority of posts on this thread on a public internet forum. Also by being a cock. Dismissal with disgrace.

March the guilty bastard in.

Got to admire the OP really. He's really got the usual PH old women dropping stitches in their knitting.

Seriously - the only people looking bad here are the ones with bulging neck veins over a b number plate. Spitfire - seriously – chill. OP is laughing at you all as he reels you in...

I reckon the diet of hate is causing constipation, so I think it should be this one.

Yes I am the commander of the great English armies. I shall mobilise my army of chavtastic personal platers and descend on you with great wrath. Resistance is futile, I will force compliance with all of my subjects to buy and modify their number plates.

P.S you can command men in the army without being an officer

Ah, your a lance Jack then.

This is classic:

Ok so:

Q. Why do I have my name on it?

A. It's a well kept secret up until now, but ALL military personnel have to do this. It's in Queens regulations.

That anyone could believe this? A "secret" but in the Queen's Regulations? Ha ha!

The OP is having great fun in this thread and must be looking forward to each new post.

Running rings springs to mind.

One of the most entertaining threads in a while OP, played

Well this topic went on a tangent! It wasn't a huff, just wasn't interested entertaining people I felt were rude towards my son, me fine - but not him. However, you asked nicely so here's the answer...

The name comes from the fact my wife and I had our first date at the Larmer Tree Festival, our favourite band that day was the Keston Cobblers Club. As she's from Texas and I'm from the UK finding a name wasn't the easiest, as such we went down a different path and went for Keston - we like it. It's also unlikely he'll be bullied at his international school, some of the names there are special to say the least, also I would never want a son who took pleasure in bullying a kid over a name, especially be a father who condoned it.

Yes of course. Under A2020, all other ranks have been abolished. On April 1st 2015 all army personnel became LCpl. Ask a friend if you don't believe me. Be sure to post a screenshot of the conversation on here please.

So you are then, fair enough.

For gods sake man, yes!!! Everything I've said in this thread is true.

A little side issue. Those who place a yellow screw cover over a one to make it look like an "i" need shooting at dawn.

[Impasse]

Poor ol' Dawn. She has almost as bad luck as Will seems to.

Guessing your self confessed illegal chav plate is for vanity reasons......so you probably have a personality disorder/self important streak/excess narcissism/low morale/fk the law attitude.

Strange behaviour. And to keep the 'legal' plates in the boot is laughably tragic.

Should be fined and plate revoked imho.

Cheers.

and yet he's not the one that sounds like a massive helmet.

Ah yes, now I agree with this. Us proper chavplaters would never be so "council" as to associate with the "I dotters". They are treated with utter contempt.

Who'd have thought it eh, a sub culture in the murky world of personal number plates. I've seen running battles in dark industrial estates between these various sects - not a pretty sight.

Then there's the "German pretenders league". This inhuman act should be punishable by death! I'm off for a lie down, this talk is no good for my blood pressure. You guys have caused my PTSD to return - where's that brown paper bag, quick!
