I see so many dodgy plates and wonder how they get away with it, then they fine you for that!  Harsh but they are entitled to do so.

coppers are unfair mate, they got nothing better to do than pull up innocent people! Easy life! If you were a TWOCer you'd be ok.

if you were in the job you'd think better. the give targets for you to reach every day/week. tickets they have to issue.
if you/someone you love was HAR( hit and run) youd soon be bitching if no1 could read the number plate. and moaning about they should have got them to change it earlier.

I'm sure the law specifies the text has to be substantially similar to the legal font, so you can have a different one.
That font is just as easy to read as the standard font too.

you thought wrong. every firm that registers as number plate printers is issued the font. and deviation from that font is ILLEGAL.

I had similar plates to these mate. Font was totatly readable but when i recieved the plates from an online company, the writing was tad bit small.
I ment to change them for ages, because when ever i went past the police, i was worried about my plates. One day got stopped by a policeman and he said to change them straight away or i'll recieve a fine.
I was lucky and changed them straight away for bog standard ones from legit place that puts their postcode on and all that they are supposed to have.
Glad its done now cos i don't have to worry about being stopped now, which could lead them to finding something else wrong and they don't look to bad either

My back plate is correct font and size, and just has a slightly less than normal gap between the numbers and last 3 letters, and I got a fine!
Yours is waaaaaaayyyyyy illegal and I wouldnt moan if I was you!

an if someone you loved was burgled, you would be bitchin when the police dont come round because they have no time, but then you see one of the cnuts sat in a layby nickin people. Trust me I know!

seems to me like you dont. the 'cnut' you saw sat in a layby nicking people was a traffic cop. and has a duty to patrol traffic.
