No, the meeting she was at was VERY specific! And it was top level management from the DVLA that was stating it to all the senior police officers and senior civilian staff in the UK that are involved with the traffic and camera side of enforcement.

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

its missing the 'R'

in response to the revoking of private plates what possible difference would this make to enforcing fines etc? ANPR can read a small 'show' plate through thick fog so the fact it says   'look at me' rather than 'yn07bor ' is irrelevant. At a recent auction HRH 1 made 90k + so somehow i cant see them wanting to refund that can you????

btw my plate is BIG ****

i believe the police and the people making the legislation are absolute idiots if they think that now I have to give a dna sample, blood and my children to get a plate will deter criminals. Its absolute crap. Criminals will steal cars and plates from other cars....because they are criminals. They arent going to pop into Halfords with their ID to get a plate now are they.

so once again Joe Public gets bent over the desk by the authorities for no benefit and no reduction in crime!!!
