Whats yours? Oh yea, a random forum.
illegal numberplate pressure group websites.
This also seems to point towards it being possible: http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/1271/response/2901/attach/html/2/FOI 1166.doc.html
What if you have private plates?
If it is true, a quite excellent idea.Copied off another forum, not sure if it's true or a hoax, but I'd love it to be true, Illegal number plates are one of my pet hates.
Wouldn't that be a massive hassle for both the owner and the DVLA? What's to stop someone doing this to reregister stolen or written off cars?I think the idea is that you'd get a different registration mark, so you'd need to get new plates.
plates should be supplied by the govt like they are in the rest of europe. problem solved.
My elderly neighbor had normal plates from the dealer he bought the car from about 5 years ago, he just failed his MOT because the plates were "against new legislation" and they made him pay for a new set with a blue flag on the left. He asked for the old plates so he could check with the police and they had "thrown them away".
Could somebody confirm that he was swindled? What legislation could have come in to invalidate his plates as these plates were legit plates on an 54 reg octavia....
