nc_hull	Yes it is an offence to display a registration plate on a vehilce which does not conform to the regulations such as size, spacing and font. The Police can issue you with an on the spot fine, request that the plate is changed within 14 days and if noy report you to court. If it is a personalised plate then DVLA can revoke your right to use it. Companies who make the registation plate up for you should be registered now and require proof of ownership of the registration number. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

allan j	almost everything in this god forsaken hole is illegal...do as you must, break the rules.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Bear	Yes. It will not conform to the regulations set. My own personal view is that if the licence plate is clearly readable nad it is obvious what it really is then I personally don't have a problem with it. If however it is unreadable and doesn't bear a resemblence to what it should be then it needs changing. Obviously traffic officers will have other ideas. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
