Illegal private number plates

We constantly hear the Police and the DVLA mentioning private number plate offences and so called illegal private number plates - but what actually constitutes an illegal private number plate?

Well there are a couple of different ways you could find yourself falling foul of the law

Car number plate spacing

The spacing of characters is very important- the DVLA have strict guidelines which must be observed. See our car registration number plate spacing page

Car number plate size

The actual size of the personal number plate is significant- a large number of motorbikes sport increasingly small personal number plates.

Car number plate font

The font used on the cherished number plate is crucial- the DVLA dictate that only the "Mandatory" Charles Wright font may be used.

Car number plate fixings

A number of motorists use cherished number plate fixings and bolts to obscure the private plate and make it appear to be a different number.

Here are some great examples of illegal registration number plates- courtesy of www.chavplate.org.uk a website dedicated to this problem and ousting the offenders.
