I decided to get a new numberplate as I have managed to use both of mine and have been having to put up with a yellow piece of paper with some scribble written on it for the past few weeks Neutral

So I ordered a plate online with the slogan "Hedge Seeking Missile" written on the bottom. This arrived in the post yesterday morning Rolling Eyes

Number plate with a slogan is chavy.
Number plate with a miss spelled slogan is uber chavy.
Use it as it is, you'll be the king of chavs.

Just because he thought he'd have a slogan on his number plate doesn't make him a chav.
If that's true, then i'd say "Anyone who stickytapes L plates on is a chav"...
I think it's funny.

Aren't they illegal? I thought it had to have the postcode or something of where the plate/bike was made?

Yep.

A number plate must have the postcode of the distributor of the number plate/car dealer etc.



But that's bloody funny! I would keep it Laughing Who did you order this plate off?

What's the British Standard for number plates?
The British Standard sets out the physical characteristics of the number plate. This includes visibility, strength and reflectivity.

The British Standard also requires each number plate to be permanently and legibly marked with the following information:

The British Standard number (currently BS AU 145d)
The name, trademark or other means of identification of the manufacturer or component supplier (The company that made the plate)
Name and postcode of the supplying outlet.


I'm guessing its the same for bikes and cars. What I didn't know was that its illegal to have one line on a motorbike.

The law is the same except:

Plate and character size is/can be smaller.
Only a yellow rear is required on bikes.
(Or the auld white on auld bikes.)

People who use different fonts should be shot for being a chav.

The main reason they're so picky about the font and size is so they can be easily read by the ANPR systems.

'I have a funkie hand written-esq font on my plate it is soooo cool.'

I am a believer in the fact that a big cock is a much better fanny magnet than a quirky plate.

Your not meant to have a different font. Most people moan about it, but it could make the difference if your car/bike is stolen. If a ANPR camera can't read it, it won't ping up as stolen.
