www.imoc.co.uk. i think he was picking on you as for spacing ive seen far worse spaced plates than yours 
BUT surely you knew it was illegal anyway?(ANY other font looks tacky!) and legally spaced plates *shrug* If the police bring this to my attention then I'll accept it, it's the risk you take when you break the law.£30 and told i should get the tints removed (they're not *really* dark!!!). I left them though, if you like you can see the £30 as a charge for having tinted windows, or an altered num plate! All these different laws are ridiculous, I would just pleed ignorance if I was pulled on it.nofearmadbiker wrote:looking at changing front plate i want to put an import size one on the front as said on an earlier post, so maybe time to just order a standard set of plates then and be done with it
........(came with a uk plate)...Sir Jim speaketh the truth :-(square plates are only legal on cars that came with a square holder
.......!! i recently put a post up asking where i could get a plate made up and was shocked at how many replies i got and how many different plate makers there are ! being in the car trade i can get plates made up no bother but law states you must give your name and address and the plate maker must have their name/post code on as well . the number plate i had made has the legal size lettering , the plate is the legal size but its illegal because it has a border round it and a gb sign . to look at it looks ok but just how many number plates do you see these days with playboy signs on them or itallic letters etc 
or the cop just thought you look a menace to society jeff 
unlucky m8 !They have now that they have caught the malicious mis-spaced number plate displayer!! Sherlock Holmes would be so proud... ;-')perhaps they have cleaned up all the crime in your area jeff

I guess he couldn't sort the people on the bikes out because he was dealing with you, once you have a legal plate he'll have more time to look at the important issues.
I also have an illegal plate, I have no gap in the middle, I'm using the right fonts and things but have to swap it for one with a space for the MOT.
The police do this sort of thing because.......A...drivers are easy targets, B.... Statistically it looks like a solved crime......C... It's easy... D... The police couldn't catch a cold in a doctor's waiting room. True Story........Whilst out walking with my dog I saw a burglar leaving a property with a sheet containg his swag over his shoulder. I followed him back to his hovel on the local dump estate and promptly phoned the police who arrived the next day to take a statement and have me show them where I followed him to. I still haven't heard anything 3 weeks later. I'm afraid that unfortunately the police have turned into a joke, too many chavs, drunks, paperwork, hoops, red tape, rotten apples, blah blah
