There is an interesting news item in today's Ingear (The Sunday Times Motoring Supplement), and I quote:

Owners of personalised numberplates will be allowed to move letters and numbers closer together to more easily spell words under a relaxation of rules to be announced in the summer. The change will allow more words to be created - potentially boosting government coffers.

"There is a demand from the public and this is an income stream the Treasury is keen to have", said the Department for Transport (DfT). "There is a bit of almost hypocrisy that we are selling plates and prosecuting (owners) if they push the numbers together".

The Association of Chief Police Officers warned that the move could reduce the accuracy of numberplate recognition cameras. But the Dft said the plates would remain readable.



That means I can leave my 'touring' plates on all the time!

Interesting, thanks for posting.

About time - if the plate is the correct fonts ... does the spacing REALLY matter that much - by all means keep jumping on the chav tat itallic goofy font brigade

That's wicked. Shame you can't change the letters around I could have "S2000 PG".

Now all i got to do is find either of the plates I want

S200 ORH
or
FON74L

does anybody know how to search for them?

Monkeybone

You definitely won't find anything S200... on the DVLA site, they're all gone!

Edit: Ignore me, I talk rhubarb...

Yes, go on the DVLA website (I think it is direct registrations) and you can search for all sorts of prefix and suffix plates.
