Will this plate pass an MOT?

[CRA1G]

Just remember there's hope for all of you that have stepped over to the "Black & Darkening" side of trying to make a name or word using a number or mis-spacing letters........ " KR15 HNA " Sold for £180,000 + VAT and fees in may 2015....

Of course it can be. EG, the Yorkshire Ripper is a bd.

Thanks for your permission.

You beat me to it!! The irony meter was off the scale with his post.

In many other threads, he's advocating laws being enforced for other road users but doesn't want plate regulations enforced at all.

Wood for the trees comes to mind..

Yep top comedy.

Probably owns a crappy Chavplate himself.

And those who claim to be oblivious to the illegalities of such blatant Chaverry and these miscreant Chavplaters fk the law attitude in the name of their own vanity are often unsurprisingly invariably involved in more serious crimes.

Busted. Only last week I held up 3 Tesco Expresses, and netted £14k. No one knows about it and I'm home-free...... oh st.

Now.... you could buy yourself a nice plate with that money.....

Who would have knew that there were people in life who’s blood pressure rose when they seen private plates on cars out in the real world

Sad people.

Im impressed though. One of the posters didn’t mention chip eating, football top wearing chavs in one of his posts for the first time ever

Dave, decent plate. I’ve seen it when walking down Everton Valley after the game a couple of times.

It's R88, followed by an abbreviation of my surname. The first 8 has a plate coloured screw-cap across the middle, so it looks a little more like ROB.

If anyone can't see this is R88 then they're blind. Countless police have seen it and never pulled me, ANPR sure recognised it when I received a speeding ticket, and it's passed it's last 7 MOT's without mention.

Surely the one who missed the speed camera is blind.

Yes of course it does because cyclists riding in a manner that puts themselves and other road users in positions where injuries or death may occur compares directly to omitting the space on a numberplate.

Does no one on PH understand perspective. No other forum I've ever been on has the same number of people who are unable to understand perspective or statistics to the point where I actually wonder about their sanity.

Hmm... yeah.

It's everyone else is wrong, and you're right. That must be it.

What's top comedy is watching you lot try and convince those of us with a sense of perspective that illegal plate spacing is the start of a rocky road to major international crime. Truly desperate and pathetic as well as laughable actually.

BTW no 'chavplates' (a disgusting expression used by tts IMO) for me, I can't be arsed with all that as would rather spend my money on the car itself than have any form of private or mis-spaced plate, but I don't see fit to criticise those that do... each to their own.

The plate regulations are nonsense in this country anyway. Mis-spacing a plate does not confuse ANPR or anyone with decent eyesight, I get why manipulating characters is not a good idea in that respect, but many other countries in the world manage just fine with much smaller and varied plates e.g. Australia. It's a bit like speed limits ... if they were all sensible a lot more people would obey them, throw in a whole heap of inappropriate ones and people just don't bother as they are clearly daft. Same with plates... a bit of mis-spacing or having a slightly different size truly does not matter other than it's outside the letter of the law. Other than on PH of course where its used to abuse and deride.

Now can you all go and look up the term perspective? Class dismissed.

[Sad Ken]

Jesus Christ, all this over a space in the middle of a plate.

Surely the days of number plates are... err... numbered?

Can't we just have an rfid tag or something and be done with them?

If a close relative or close friend of yours was seriously injured or worse by a vehicle with a 'butchered' number plate, and that vehicle could not be traced simply because the miscreant in butchering the real plate placed their desperate vanity above the law, I can categorically tell you now you would not be so complacent and retain your sense of perspective in these circumstances.

Also this would have far more impact on you than most major international crimes.

Yeah... let's starve HM Government out of the £161 MILLION alone that went into the coffers last year from DVLA Registrations.....

For the love of god, how does closing the space in the middle of the plate make it any less readable?

I'm completely with you for examples where a silly font has been used, 7's have been shortened to look like I's, two II's have been pushed together and a screw inserted to look like a H etc, but closing a space surely does absolutely bugger all? Closing a space is not butchering it.

How about a solution, we ban all private registrations,then the silly fkers who think their plate is class because it cost ££££'s, and the silly fkers who think they look good immitating the silly fkers who spent ££££'s can all make do with normal boggo registrations like the rest of us.

The weirdest thing about personal plates for me is if the Government said cars had to display the driver's name in bold lettering there would a huge outcry about the invasion of privacy.

And if the Government changed the rules, so that all registration plates had to have NO spaces, and it was technically illegal to have a space in the middle, the same people whingeing about closing the space, would start whingeing about people who had a space in the middle.

First world problems n'all that
