Old Style Number Plates.

PaulN · Feb 13, 2007

Hi All,

Ive been thinking about changing my number plates, and have seen the Old style Silver on Black on a few cars namely Black ones.

Ive got a private plate on so it wouldn't be the standard 4 and 3 digits

I wondered how much unwanted-attention i would get with them on and what was peoples thoughts on them?

Cheers

What's the worst that could happen?
QUOTE from DVLA: "The police can also issue fixed penalty fines for illegally displayed number plates. Offenders are liable to a MAXIMUM
FINE of £1,000 and in some cases the mark may be withdrawn."
Is your private reg worth more than the 'Q-Plate' replacement?
but what's the chances of getting stopped, since most traffic cops have been replaced by Gatsos...

As it states in Mr Slobs DVLA leaflet,

All vehicles post 01/01/1973 must conform to regulation reflective design.

As for your remark "is your private reg worth more than the Q-plate replacement", If you are stopped by the police and reported to the DVLA for displaying a none conformative plate, you will not only be fined upto £1000 in a court of law, you also take the serious risk of having your vehicle confiscated !!!!!

It happened to a client of mine only last year !!!!

Also getting stopped by the police is the least of your worries these days, Traffic wardens report vehicles for any breach under DVLA or road traffic laws too !!!!! !!!!!

Also an MOT fail, so any VOSA vehicle could stop you on the road. That includes those new Motorway Patroling vehicles as they work for VOSA aswell. Pre 1972 only.
