"I’ve seen a couple
W33COW and
W33FUD
A husband and wife have them. It might be a West of Scotland thing but this shows affection!"
Fud is used in Edinburgh too. |

"There's one round here that says YES 4 3SUM
That isn't a DVLA issed registration number as it doesn't follow any of their criteria. "
As Mr N has just pointed out I got it wrong it is actually YE5 4SUM. |

A guy in a black Bentley convertible ripped me up a few months back... I followed him to a shed company... and ripped a strip of him!
Just because you own an expensive car doesn’t default you from the Highway Code |

Too many of these plates don't use legal presentation standards, often resulting in it being more difficult to determine the actual registration details. Our minds like patterns, so it's tougher to work out a reg if it's not in a format that you recognise. Ok, a lot of them seemingly try to make words that aren't even that intelligible based on the letters and numbers they have to use - I'm often at a loss trying to figure out what they are trying to spell. A lot are obviously using plates from illegal sources or have coloured pins holding the plate on, trying to adjust what letters are perceived. They probably should have police action against them, as any crimes committed would be harder to trace. Perhaps punishment should be vehicle confiscations, as with untaxed vehicles.

" Have seen a great number plate today.
FET 1SH
Wanted to get a closer look at the occupants. really? According to the Dvla vehicle data base it doesn’t exist "
Most likely it's actually FET 15H |

Well if you did it was either made up or it has been withdrawn. |

Impressed with your knowledge. Are you the DVLA police "
Use to be in the motor trade.
I don't know if they are still doing it but up until recently if the DVLA received 3 reports on a number plate that had altered spelling or spacing, they would remove the index and replace it with a Q plate.
This cannot be removed from the vehicle and knocks £1000s of the value.
The thing is you are not informed you have been reported until they take action. |

Wouldn't we see a lot more Q plated vehicles driving around? Haven't see one in years! |

Not according to DVLA website, Q plate only for cars of unknown age or where the identity is in doubt! |

Plate displays that are illegal can result in fines up to £1000, invalidate the road worthiness of the vehicle, including presumably the vehicle Insurance and can also mean loss of the registration - without compensation. I also assume that a driver could be subject to license penalties or loss as well as other driving offenses. |
