Personally Yours Registrations offer free number plate information
Staffordshire, UK. 15th June 2008. For twenty years Personally Yours Private Car Registrations have been selling private number plates, but that is not all! In order to offer a complete service Personally Yours Registrations are offering information which is helpful to number plate buyers.
The law regarding number plates changes occasionally but there are some rules which although may seem trivial can lead to the vehicle that the number plate is on being pulled over by the police and if it is found to be illegal a fine can be issued. It makes no difference if the number was already on the vehicle either. http://www.personallyyours.co.uk/number-plates-numberplates.htm
To make sure that customers of Personally Yours Registrations stay in touch with number plate rules, they have a guide to the legalities of number plates and the fitting of them.
The Managing Director of Personallyyours.co.uk, Jason Wilkes said: “All number plates including numbers those purchased through sales scheme must be displayed in accordance with The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001 (obtainable from Her Majesty’s Stationery Office).
Rules for the display of number plates are set out in law, briefly these are: –
A number plate must be displayed at the front and rear of motor vehicles (with some exceptions).
Number Plates must be easy to read and meet the British Standard.
Lettering should be black on a white plate at the front and a yellow at the rear.
The background surface should be reflex-reflecting but the characters must not.
There are separate requirements for traditional number plates displayed on vehicles constructed before 1 January 1973.
Lettering and spacing must be of a set size. They must conform to one of the groups shown at:- Number plates fitted after 1 September 2001 or Number plates fitted before 1 September 2001.”
He went on to say: “Number Plate Law – The law states that, you must not alter, rearrange or misrepresent the letters or numbers and characters must not be moved from one group to the other (e.g. A242 ABC must not be displayed as A242A BC).
Offences may result in any or all of the following:
A fine of up to £1,000
