Best Personalised Number Plates

[snorri]

I find it quite laughable when car owners, who have spent substantial sums on personal plates, have to explain that 13 looks like B, or 5 looks like S or 6 looks like G.
No it doesn't you dummy.

On the back of a red Porsche 911T

TUR 130 (TURBO)

That one used to be one of a pair owned by the owners of the Wine Bar in Blackheath village about 30 years ago, his and hers matching Porche Turbo 911's, one red other black.

The other plate was TUR 80 (Also made to look like TURBO)

When I bought my car I was offered a choice of registrations for it. They all said KAC or KAK. Having had one before when I didn't know what kak was I didn't want to fall for that again so I got my own plate. It was the cheapest plate the DVLA sell but still has my name on it. Most people who see it don't even connect it with me as it is such an unpopular name to have and assume it just came with the car.

Last year a car that was quite a bit ahead of me cut into the bus lane under took a big queue (big for Edinburgh standards anyway) before cutting back in at the head of the queue. His Plate was G1T, I'm sure the other drivers thought he was one.

AU55OME is on a Porsche (I think) - on a dog walking route. I regularly sigh...

I think people who bastardise the correct form should be fined £1000 if they drive with a cherished ''bonmot". Each time. Let's raise revenue from these tossers.
Keep the spaces please.

Now where's CCH4T?

The mis-representation of Vehicle Registration Marks VRM'S is an offence. it makes it difficult for witnesses to properly identify a vehicle from a jumbled set of characters and digits which deviates from the standard number plate layout.

Some years ago in Police Review, a traffic sergeant wrote an article in which he put forward the theory that people who altered their VRM to represent a name or word which altered the plate from its original appearance/intended use were low level criminals.

He argued that they were basically people who thought that vehicle registration law did not apply to them, he further argued that if they had little or no regard for such a simple/basic law that they were more likely to be offending in other ways.

I have to say I agree.

That said I do have my initials on my number plate, but the plate is not altered in any way, it is as the DVLA intended it to be displayed, a single character followed by two digits and three further characters.
