Are my German number plates illegal ?
I came across this question on a website today- are my German number plates illegal ?
This nice chap was a member of a VW Golf owners’ club forum and about to add a set of metallic German number plates to his Golf.
No doubt these would look great on the car but the fact he had to ask to check if such a thing would be illegal is very worrying indeed.
The fact is ANY deviation from the DVLA’s number plate rules is plainly illegal.
With the advent of websites dedicated to cracking down on number plate crime it would seem even if the Police aren’t taking a tough line on motorists then someone out there is waiting to catch you out!
Check out this website- the webmaster really seems to be upset about illegal number plates.
