When my Z comes out of the bodyshop, I was thinking of treating it to a new number plate.

 

Does G 300 T look too much like its 'G' reg or do you make the connection to 'GT' ?

 

Other possibilty is C 300 J ........both for reasonable money. The 2nd one £100 cheaper.

 

Which would mean FST 36M would be up for sale.

Well my front Plate is a little on the illeagal side, no matter what way you look at it :D

Jail for a number plate with odd spacing? and you get £1000 fine for littering the street, but who ever does?

OK Nigel,

 

Take your point, and clearly it's something that's very personal to you, and with good reason to be sure. That's awful mate - sorry to hear it. :(

 

But in the case of the plates I've just got (for example), they are in standard font, but 3OO still looks enough like 300 to get the point across, so it's really not down to the spacing in this case.

 

IMO, nearly every non-standard font I've seen looks, well, a bit naff to be honest ... especially hard to read italics - these number plates are bought by XR3 drivers, who probably also call their kids Romeo .. not cool.

 

Also, as for the hit-and-run case in Manchester, whoever it was deserves to have the book thrown at them. I don't think anyone I know on here would dream of scooting off from the causing damage to someone else's motor - I know I wouldn't.

 

Just 2p about generalisations, I guess.

putting spaces in a private plate can actually make the plate EASIER to read - so not sure how that would be "evading detection" ??:confused:

Yeah good point Nelson - sometimes a plate can be more memorable, you remember a single word instead of a series of numbers and letters.

 

Obviously you've gotta actually be able to read it, which is where swirly italics shouldn't be allowed.

All good points and true.

 

I'm sure the legislation is for those who try to make the plates look like something else in such a way that there is no way of telling what the legally registered mark is.

Because computers are dumb f**ks, and the people who program them are dumb f**ks too. The computer cant handle it if a character is not where it should be. The bigest problem is Motorbike plates where the reg is at the top and then the numbers on the next line and then the letters on another.
