Apologies in advance to a lot of the posters on this thread but:
One of my pet hates is seeing illegally spaced number plates & people who have used a different font to deliberately make a number look like a letter (eg a number 5 that looks like a letter S).
When I purchased my Arden Green 75 Conn SE & once I had handed over the cash, to the seller's dismay the very first thing I did was to peel off the two Black caps that had been stuck on the number plate in between the numbers/letters (Pic below).
The number plate read V6*75*ROV (I've used stars as dots but you get the idea - all the spacing was correct by the way).
It then read V675 ROV.
It was only a small thing I know but it still reads as intended.

The worst offenders for the tenuous spacings seem to be BMW , Audi & Range Rover owners.

They all risk instant fines and points on licenses

The lad next door has been running his car for the last 2 years with no front number plate and has not been stopped once.

You gotta be really unlucky if you get a tug for that plate.
