Personal plate question.

I have just got my papers thru for my private plate and need to order a new plate.

My plate is R16H** for my name, if the plate was legal in every way except havin R16H on line 1 then other letters on line 2. Would i get tugged every second?

I don't ride the bike like I stole it and Im not lookin to have any dodgey fonts or sizes or anythin, so i thought id be ok

All opinions appreciated

Ring the plates place and ask them. I've used 'auto plates' (or 'express plates'? :S) on john street in sheffield. Just asked them to make me one within the letter of the law.

Think that ones a no-go legally - http://www.dvla.gov.uk/media/pdf/lea...mberplates.pdf suggests that the law would look unfavourably on you moving the H to the end of the numbered section.

Hmmmmmmmmmm......

I'm undecided whether to risk it or not. Our lass had private plates which were J3 N** n she had them totally legal except the spacing i.e J3N ** n neva got pulled.

Legally it has to be the same spacing as written e.g. N2 NJK or EU08 JJU
Youre legally not allowed to change the spacings, but unless the sizes/font are really taking the pi$$ then you're unlikely to get pulled for it.
If it were my choice, id risk it.

I can't stand private plates.

One of the company directors has one on his BMW M thing. To me it says look I have money but no taste.

A mate of mine has one on his car. He is the constant object of ridicule for it.

Why do it? I see its an attempt at your name, do you have trouble remembering it? But seriously why?

I think people also like them as they conceal the age of your vehicle.

To an extent thats not true, you cant put a numberplate on the vehicle that makes it look younger than it is.

I didn't say you could.

Concealing doesn't mean to make younger, it means to hide. Which is why a lot of people have private plates.

well thats one view.....

I did say all opinions appreciated.

I know from past experience that privy plates are very marmite.

Mine was a gift, but i see the attraction to personalising the vehicle. If everybody liked the same thing it'd be a borin old universe
