That's one of my pet hates jerks using illegal fonts and spacing on plates. I've started making a nuisance of myself phoning the local plod and getting a crime report number each time I see one. Black Range Rovers are major offenders normally the driver is a drug dealer, would be gangster or look at me type.

Just think before you make too much fuss about 'personalised' number plates. I agree if the number cannot be read but in almost every case the 'altering' of the number makes it much easier to remember. Very useful if you are involved in an accident etc.

On a slightly different point. I remember an internal notice to the Met Police some years ago, which referred to the idea of a `personalised number' as being 'childish or foolish' and for that reason discretion should be exercised.

Quite funny as for time the official car of the Commissioner of the Met had a personalised number.

To quote Sergeant Simon Goldsmith of Cambs Police "Over the next few weeks we will continue to conduct regular road checks to target vehicles with illegal number plates.

"Not only is it an offence to display these plates but it also creates problems with vehicle identification."

The most common offences in relation to number plates are changing the font and spacing of the registration.

Anyone caught displaying an illegal number plate more then twice could have the number revoked by the DVLA."

Sorry but don't see that in most cases there is any reason to believe that modifying the number causes any hazard to other road users and, as I said, altered plates usually mean the number is more easily remembered. If the alterations really affect the ability of a person to read the number I am pretty sure that the driver would be stopped and warned, cautioned, fined etc.

If I were in UK I would hope the police would concentrate on crimes, which affect the well-being of others. Police officer have discretion where to prosecute, in the old days, still so I hope, they turned a blind eye to the less serious offences.

These are but a few still on the statute books but which would seem likely to be ignored:-

60.

Every person who, in any street or public place within the limits of the metropolitan police district, shall be guilty of any of the following offences, shall be liable to a penalty not more than [F68 level 1 on the standard scale]for every such offence; (that is to say,)
1. Every person who in any thoroughfare shall burn, dress, or cleanse any cork, or hoop, cleanse, fire, wash, or scald any cask or tub, or hew, saw, bore, or cut any timber or stone, or slack, sift, or screen any lime:
2. Every person who shall throw or lay in any thoroughfare any coals, stones, slates, shells, lime, bricks, timber, iron, or other materials (except building materials, or rubbish thereby occasioned, which shall be placed or enclosed so as to prevent any mischief happening to passengers):

Cambs Police Sergeant Simon Goldsmith and I would disagree - this number plate legislation needs to be enforced to prevent cloning, aid identification of vehicles etc. I'm not quite sure of the present situation but I know a few years back there were moves to make such plates MoT failures - I think the then Govt lost it's bottle to crack down on those who flout laws just because it suits them

The list of Met Police District offences still on the books that you quote is amusing - I wonder if dressing a cork is a bit like dressing a crap or maybe its Olde English for cross dressing

Some people here seem to damn the police if they do and damn them if they don't.

However, number plates.

Whilst some people seem to think it's a really important point, (Cambs Police Sergeant Simon Goldsmith and Dedworth) it would seem apparent that the majority of police seem to think its harmless. If they did not then no one would be using them.

Sorry but that's logic. Bit like, the police think driving a motorcycle without a helmet is important, how many people do you see driving a motor cycle without one ?

I'm a strong believer in the police using the tactic of 'Police Helicopter' and strategically placed 'Stingers' rather then engaging in a yank style police chase. It's safer to stand off and have cars waiting then to keep on chasing at ridiculous speeds down side streets.
Whilst this old guy is in the wrong, they'd have had a stronger case had they just left him to drive off, followed him carefully and arrested him when he got home.

I know I always say this but here I go again.

I know there are a lot of people who love to jump to conclusions, often based on their prejudices, especially when the police are involved. These same people will often stick to their preconceived ideas even after all the facts have been published, regardless of what the findings were. It's not logical but that's life. Some people even write books to 'prove' their theories, again often with a scattering of mistruths (lies) to support what they say. If there are enough gullible people the books sell well and the authors make a ton and are inspired to do it all again. Ludervick Kennedy was one such.

The inescapable fact is: One cannot come to any reasoned conclusion by what they read in the papers, see on TV or a video etc. That is why they investigate cases. Only when all the facts are known can one make a reasoned decision.

But, take no notice of this, continue making your guesses. By the time all the facts come out everyone will have forgotten what you said so you won't even need to say you were maybe wrong !!!

As this number plate things seems to have assumed great importance, I attach this:-


Vehicle Number Plates in the UK
There are strict rules set out that govern the layout, fonts and character specifications used on UK number plates. There are also general rules laid out on how number plates must be displayed. If these rules are not followed then it can be seen as an offence. General rules will include:



Number plates must be lit during the evenings
Registration marks must be readable and not covered by dirt
Vehicles must have number plates fixed to them
Number plates must be laid out in the correct size, colouring, font and spacing
Owners cannot alter or rearrange numbers and lettering on their number plates
Plates should follow the British Standard for number plates including the trademark of the plate supplier
No other images should be used on number plates except approved images such as the Euro flag and other flags
A non reflective border is optional
Punishments for Number Plate Offences
Incorrect number plate offences can lead to fines of up to £1000 for each specific number plate offence. It may be the case that a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) will be affixed to car, for instance in a public car park, with a fixed penalty violation. There is no requirement for an NIP to be provided for number plate offences. There are sometimes defences available for this type of offence but misleading or lying to the courts can lead to larger fines. Police cameras are regularly used to catch drivers with dirty numbers plates or plates with incorrect spacing.

PS If I were a still a serving officer in UK I personally would be on the look out for people who break the law in a way which affects other citizens in a real way, not wasting police time on a number plate which has been slightly modified, as long as it was still legible.

I did not say that, I differentiated between plates which could not be read and those which had been slightly altered. Does anyone really think police should waste police time /public taxes, worrying about, say a plate which should read
'M 1 JAS' but reads 'MIJAS'

Quote . if we cant believe the media reporting the story because we dont have the full facts, who do we believe?[/QUOTE]

When officers are working on high profile cases, murders etc. they keep a 'press cuttings book' of articles about the case. The reason: Quite often (mentally unstable) people confess to crimes they have not committed. Of course in such cases they have to rely on what they have read in newspapers.

In practically all high profile cases important facts are withheld by the police and thus, if a person confesses and knows the withheld facts, they are either the person responsible for tghe crime or have a close knowledge of the case. Anyone just reading the papers would not know theses pertinent facts.

When one reads all the articles about a case sometimes it is difficult to be sure they are writing about the case under investigation, they vary so much and can be so far from what actually happened.

Anyone reading any of these such articles would of course get only the info that paper printed, and thus cannot get the complete story, and which is often way off mark. How would anyone expect with such poor quality, biased, mis-reported etc. info, could anyone come to a reasoned conclusion.

The bee is in my bonnet about these number plates and I think there should be Zero Tolerance with offending cars being taken away and crushed. However thinking about it from the Police's point of view there might be some logic in allowing the law breakers to get away with it. The sensible drug dealer drives a bog standard grey saloon number plate LD59 XCN whereas the one who wants to say "look at me I'm the big I am" has a big black Range Rover, Big Wheels, Blacked out windows and a number plate altered from PEN15 to PE NIS. Who are the police more likely to stop ? the grey man or the knobhead who wants to stand out ?

Agreed - there should be a complete change of the system along the lines that you get a new state manufactured and issued number plate every year instead of a tax disc which incorporated it's expiry date and a bar code. No personal plates would be allowed thus removing the knobheads, the plate would only be issued to vehicles that had valid MOT's and insurance. Without exception any vehicles with out of date or no number plates would be seized and crushed along with those flagged on the DVLA data base as having expired insurance.

I don't think that is the best think of the actual cost of the whole program.

Add the equivalent on the petrol. It would be perhaps a penny or two on a litre with no cost at all for collection and admin as the taxes are already collected on petrol and thus no additional costs. And no police, court, administration costs for abuse.


Also, it would mean a gas guzzler would pay a lot more that a small saloon and the guy who drivers every day would pay more that the family man taking the wife and kids to the countryside a few weekends in the summer.

It would also mean that drivers would be encouraged maybe to drive a little more economically, so good for the environment too.

What's wrong with that ?

I personally would hold the makers and sellers of number plates responsible.:rolleyes:

Give companies like Motorworld or Halfords and a few others the contracts for supplying plates to the public with very strict guidelines, to make them to an approved standard, without variations of any kind, ie spacings, different colour screwheads and whatnot. :rolleyes:
Tell the police to issue week long notices to change the plates to drivers with unacceptable or confusing combinations of letters and numbers, or have the car impounded and only released on payment of fines and storage fees.
I don't see why one should do away with a personal plate if it is properly displayed and affixed.

It could be partially paid for by a levy on insurance companies, they would be doing more business with less dodgers around.

Not living in the UK you aren't up to speed on the current situation, as well as hundreds of thousands of local uninsured drivers there are untold Eastern Europeans rolling about in uninsured un MO'Td British registered wrecks. My 18 year old nephew had his parked up first car written off outside my sisters house by a drunken unlicensed, uninsured beered up Pole. As one would expect he got fined a couple of hundred quid on easy terms and 12 points on the Brit licence he didn't have. The only plus side was that my older nephew and his mates got to the drunken Pole before the Police did :)

Uninsured drivers also cost the insurance industry millions of pounds every year – with the Motor Insurers Bureau (MIB) dealing with more than 30,000 claims caused by uninsured drivers annually.

Half of the 1.5 million uninsured drivers are younger than 29, which suggests that high insurance premiums and low penalty fines, from as little as £50, are encouraging some young people to drive uninsured.

In addition to committing a criminal offence, this can start a vicious cycle because insurance premiums rise dramatically after a driver is caught without a policy – making it even less likely that the individual can afford insurance in future.

The altered number plates a problem for the 'number plate recognition' computers linked into cameras on the motorways, fixed into cars and now in places such as car parks and even the eurostar.
Traffic police vehicles have cameras fitted which continuously scan the number plates of cars around them and cross check them against databases of tax + insurance.

On a useful side if you prebook parking at many major airports or prebook on the eurostar it reads your numberplate as your approach the barrier and has your information already displayed.

How does that old joke go? "My ex wife ran off with a policeman and I was frightened you were bringing her back!":omg:

I think officers smash windows like that because they fear the driver may have a gun/weapon....smashing windows like that might startle him for a moment, it buys them a few seconds of time before he manages to get hold of his weapon..!?

I know some of you will say "But that was just a daft old pensioner who drove off!" Well they've got no way of knowing that have they? Having the appearance of a frail old pensioner is not proof that you are not dangerous! I understand that it's not a nice thing for the old guy to experience but....:Erm:
