Private Registration penalty
What is the fixed penalty for being stopped with an ileagally spaced private number plate.
I have got one at the moment, but unless one digit is moved along slightly to spell my name, the plate looks a bit naff. But in doin so it becomes ileagal.
Is it £30 fine, somebody has told me it is now £60 and possibly points??

Only looks naff if it is spaced correctly, once the one digit is shifted across (i.e on the ileagal version I have in the garage) it virtually spells my name and looks pretty smart.
May be time to sell it, havent had it on since I got caught last time (£30 fine only then). I will check up on the web for a definitive answer, just thought someone may know for sure?

And, Doc - I am extremely law abiding thank you and dont continually abuse the law, I was stopped once, 2 years ago for the plate and was considering taking the gamble of fixing the other one back on
What annoys me is you see some in italic writing and other fonts or ridiculously spaced and they never get bloody caught!

Was a present.
Ex GF bought it and had it made up and put on the car for me.
Like I say it only looks naff when spaced leagally. If it was £30 fine, I may take the gamble of putting the ileagally spaced one back on, which virtually spells out my name. It literally means taking a number and shifting it 6 inches along the plate. Christ there is murderers and rapists out there, I didnt want a lecture about the law guys!

Nox/ABerrant - if its police discretion, knowing my luck I would get hit with £1000.
I am 27yrs old in a mercedes, you get the wrong policeman and thats it!
Although the guys who pulled me last time were really nice about it, almost a "we hate to do this but....." attitude.
The plate is worth approx £1500, based on a valuation 6 months ago, might get rid

Boxtops -
"If you continue to abuse the law your car will be scrapped, rightly so." and
"Then perhaps you should have thought about having it made legally first,"
Those comments just annoyed me, suggetsing I abuse the law and dont show any foresight regarding things - thanks for everyones answers/advice.
