A quick office window snap, but I'd have thought this would have been on a Jag - rather than a 1-Series!

How the heck did they get to that?!

 

Just trying to work out what it was, when the registration was legal....

My bad 

 

It was WH04 MR O

 

Dodgy spacing, but does anyone care these days? 

[Wardy]

Ah right. 

 

I still care, but probably in the minority. Just think it makes the driver look like a right t*t.....

I don't care for mis-placed number plates  either and I had a conversation with a policeman about it many moons ago, it was a police drop in centre in the local supermarket car park. There anwser was quite interesting.  Most police officers will turn a blind eye, rightly or wrongly, about mis placed reg plates. They can sometimes make it easier to find a car due the plate saying something it isn't supposed to due to mis placed letters and numbers, black/yellow/white bolts etc

Seems the police also don't care about the trend in not having front plates - especially boy racers and supercars.

Yellow (New) Beetle in south Dublin city (near Ranelagh) last Thursday(6th July) BUG I MAC .  So, BU61MAC.  The 6 was a definite G.  Didn't get to see front of car to check if the headlights were made to look more Bug-eye than usual !

Bootlid and roof was black, so seemed that owner was making it more of a bee than a bug.

Yesterday saw 

 

A1 GAE on a van (Algae) 

DE12OIT (Detroit) on a Jag F pace

[TheOctaviator]

I've got OG02 XXX on retention (someone beat me to ELL, obviously). I suppose it's better than having ANA 1 on retention.

[Jim H]

Not a mad plate, but is this legal? I thought it had to be a certain font.

The only legal font is the Charles Wright font (see http://www.k-type.com/who-was-charles-wright/)

 

On the basis of wrong font, no BS marking, no identifier of manufacturer and supplier then it's illegal, would be subject to a fine and shouldn't pass an MOT

 

Apart from that, it's fine...

[Wardy]

Looks hideous, and as said - illegal.

 

Saw on the M6 today - OP11MUM - with two black screws at the top of the first '1' to spell OPTIMUM, with minimal spacing between the groups. 

 

It was on a Citroen C5 estate which is as far removed from optimum as I can think of, and only serves to make the driver look like an idiot.
