a new buissness venture making car number plates advice please

<< < (4/5) > >>

Tony F:
There was  recently a government consultation out that asked for feedback on increasing the penalties for altering number plates.

If I recall it was suggesting that instead of the current fixed penalty (£40?) it should be £80 and three points.

Remember that you do not own a "private" plate, only the right to display it. The DVLA has always had the power to remove that right although I am not aware of any time that this has happened.

A guy round here was in the local paper a while back for number plate offences, it seemed he was taken to court as fixed penalties had not made him change his plate. It read......

And yes it was on an annoying little "modified" Corsa

That's a real shame: 'show' plates look just like the real thing and so easy to order.

She was at a conference in Manchester the other day and they were told that the private registration side of things is finishing!

basically everyone with a private plate will get a letter in the next couple of years to say that the reg is no longer valid and here is your new age related plate!!

crazymac:
They can try? but personally I don't think they will go ahead with it as this side of the business is so profitable for them.

glaggs:
I think what you are refering to was a decision that anyone with a personal plate on which the letters don't comply with law with regards to size spacing or type face will be fined and if they repeat the offences their entitlement ot the number will be revoked.
