"Illegally spaced" private plates

How likely are you to get stopped just for altering the spacing of a plate slighty? i.e. not changing the characters with dots and sh1t like that, just moving a letter over so the gap is in a different place.

For instance, may mate has

G6 OPM

but spaces it

G60 PM

It's a G60, his initals are PM. Quite a cool plate I think.

He seems to get away with it, do you?

 

Mine is A 7 UNM

Yet to get theplates that say A7UN M with a slightly straightened 7

I think if you dont take the pi55 you should be ok

 

My Plate is G8 LFV but I have spaced it G8LF V and have not been stopped yet

 

mint, that's 100% so far.

anyone else?

 

Paul McCleery's plate is quite subtle so he gets away with it, I think it's once you start adding more than one space and trying to change the letters and using those black screw caps to alter things, that's when they give you a hard time.

It's also what mood the coppers are in at the time. I used to run small letter plates on my car, ran them for years and one day I get a copper who decided to be extra anal and have me replace then, get a stamp from a local MOT centre to say that the plates are now legal and produce it along with my docs to the local cop shop.

I've started using them again recently though!

 

my mate has V5 AXO

puts it V 5AXO.....been pulled about 10 times with it

his brother has W80 EAN puts it W8 0EAN....never been pulled

i think its just luck really

 

Let me guess, the kid with the saxo is 18, wear a cap and drives like a complete cock?

 

I think if you wear a burberry cap and stone island jacket with a number plate like FUK 1T your in trouble but if you keep it "close" to legal your be fine. The problem will be when you get pulled for speeding the A-Hole coppers have another reason to fine.

 

never been pulled with G6D GO (G6 DGO)

 

windows down with boooooyakashaa crap blaring, neons and a big rabbit hole exhaust.

 

nah he is 25 wears a suit most of the time and works for citreon (sp?) drives no worse than you or i would in a VTS

nice stereo typing anyway phat....

 

oh and its totally standard too apart from a hands free kit

 

Must just be cause its a saxo then

 

yeah more than likely

 

Hehe, so you think i'll be fairly safe in a stock looking corrado VR, with no stereo and no cap?


hmm, 25, still drives a saxo and wears a suit even though he works for a poxy frech car manufacturer?? sounds like a mincer to me. 60 fine, 3 points.

 

LMAO!

have to say that to him next time i see him!

 

could send him on a vehicle appreciation course and give him a reduced fine

Phat in a cap???? Black or white version?

what plate have you in mind phat?


B1G VR?

f4T VR?

 

Almost, but not quite.

 

i reckon its totally dependent on where you live, and what you drive.

loads of people have plates like that here, but most drive mercs and stuff. a mate has L14M DP on his S3 and has no probs...but i bet if you put one on a nova you'd get in trouble the first time you drive it.
