Personalised number plate / spacing?

Personalised number plate / spacing?

I have a personalised number plate which i paid a lot of money for so I want the plates on my car to look good (obviously).

I have the first three characters together then a space then a number then a space then the last three letters (it is a UK new-style plate)

I was pulled by the police who said the spacing was incorrect on the plate...

Is there any way around this or do I have to get new ones?

Thanks

HE FANCIED YOU GENERALLY TO MUCH ASSLE FOR THEM OVER A SMALL MATTER SHOULD HAVE SAME IDEA AS POST CODE TELL HIM YOU WAS TOLD IT IS OK OR SHOW YOU THE RIGHT DISTANCE BETWEEN LETTERS BET HE DOSENT KNOW ANSWER

I'm surprised that the police pulled you, usually it is to much trouble for them to do this. Unfortunately you will have to get new ones, just have them made to the correct specification !

Get a legal set, with the proper spacings, but display both, problem solved


?
Buy new plates.

Afraid not, The only way around it is to put the plate in the correct order as it should.
I know it's a stupid rule, but we don't make the laws, we just enforce them..


Little Bear
it is an offence to have incorrect spaced number plates/incorrect lettering on your plate. Take it back to the place you got them from and demand they re-do it for you, free of charge. Then take it to somewhere like Halfords and have them check it for you.

Surely whoever made the plate should know the law/requirements of spacing in plates.

Sorry you have to get new ones
You can also fail the MOT for the same offence

No - abide by the law.

Having chav number plates just means the police are much more likely to pull you over, but then again that means they're not doing it to me.

You have to get new ones. The spacing has to be equal between all the characters. Also italic is illegal, glad to see some police officers are doing their jobs properly instead of parking on the pavement and ignoring dangerously parked vehicles.


lol
they done this to me also! i just took it back to the place that made them and they did it for free cos it was their fault after all!
