Illegal registration plates.

This is why you use Velcro for your illegally spaced plates so if you do get a producer you just swap them back again after.

Thanks Always nice to know.

I don't know for sure mind, and given it's the DVLA who have a history of taking people's licenses off them for absolutely no reason it might not be correct!

But isn't a legal plate a requirement on your MOT?

They won't revoke a plate for illegal spacing, you'll be told to replace it with a correctly formatted one and given a producer I think to take it to the local police station within 7days to show you've done it.

What you're talking about is a VDRS (Vehicle Defect Rectification Scheme), which isn't really the best course of action.

Jokester said:
Well as far as I'm aware you don't ever own the plate, just the right to use it. I would be amazed if they took the registration off you after a first offence and would instead give you the oppurtunity to correct it.

On the first offence we can take photos and send it to the DVLA. They will send you a letter asking you to change it to be legal and send proof of this. On the second report to the DVLA they can revoke the plate and give you another generic one instead with no compensation whatsoever.

My apologies, squire.

AB10 WJB

or A B10W JB only £495, I normally only pay £30 for one of these though!

Smigly · 13 Jan 2013 at 00:15

£30??? You can get the whole hog for that price here. (From what I've heard)!

Smigly · 13 Jan 2013 at 00:16

Well literally not the whole hog. The whole deal.

or whole hog might actually be right.

Cleeecooo · 13 Jan 2013 at 00:19

A whole hog for £30 is a pretty good deal, I usually pay £2 for about 8 rashers of bacon, certainly worth it!

Smigly · 13 Jan 2013 at 00:23

You can have the one in my signature for £15.29

Cleeecooo · 13 Jan 2013 at 00:26

No trading outside the MM!

Seems like a messy job, I'd rather someone else transformed a pig into bacon tbh.
