Had my first long drive in the SC today, to swindon and saw an rrs in the fast lane with the number plate 'RRS 5NOB' made me chuckle If it doesnt scare you it isnt heavy enough

My brother in law who is a keen plate buyer told me that the DVLA are loosening the requirement on spacing to promote more sales.
Not sure if this is true as I have searched and not found anything to sumstantiate yet. MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

DVLA are not doing that. The Police may relax a bit on it due to paperwork/time but it's not an official 'relaxing'. As long as number plate recognition video cameras can read the correct Reg No then most will be fine.

Prefer RR Vouge S/C but they don't do Orange !

Brighton will pull anyone driving a car. Definitely a hate/hate relationship between Brighton council and cars, and I bet RRS is top of their list. Robin

I think it is more a case that with the reduced number of traffic police around you are unlikely to be caught but maybe APNR cameras can be utilised in their place - it amazes me some of the flagrant abuses of the number plate regulations that occur. I have a plate that reads something, but it does it without changing the spacing or shape of the characters 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

As an ex boy in blue, once the plate is on the car it is the decision of the police officer at the time whether any action is taken or a bit of advice is given....the DVLA have no role or say in the matter.

ANPR will not flag up if the plate has illegal spacing, it will just read it and then search the records on PNC and DVLA for taxation.

It should also be flagged up at MOT's but if you have a new car every three years then this is not an issue Whistle Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
