Saw a car earlier displaying a number plate as above .

It was not a foreign plate - in that it was the standard yellow background with black numbers .

Perhaps some of the 8s should really be Bs.

[Bazile]

Perhaps - but it looked like all numbers - they didn't look like b's

Probably from Guernsey.
If I remember correctly, plates from Guernsey consist of up to 6 (or maybe just 5??) numbers - no letters.

A quick google brings this up from Wiki:

//// Guernsey plates consist of up to five digits, with no letters. Plates may be either silver on a black background, or black on the white/yellow backgrounds as in the UK. An oval containing the letters 'GBG' (Great Britain – Guernsey), the island's international vehicle registration, is sometimes included. ////

on the basis that water cannot be shoveled with a pitchfork, the police round here have given up pursuing motorists whose registration plates are rendered not in accordance with prevailing regulations - notwithstanding curly script, numbers adapted to be letters (or vice versa) or strategically placed black screw covers render such plates illegible to ANPR cameras....

guernsey, and they should not have separated the numbers

[Bazile]

TTT
They might not have been separated - that's probably just me , writing it like that

[Hopkirk]

I saw a car with the plate S6 ESX.

Guess which county I was in.

[Zacs-Master]

Kent?

[Hopkirk]

There's a joke there somewhere.

The DLVA tries to ensure that any vehicle registration plate is not inappropriate – however PEN 1S is out there.
