Registration Opinions

The 2nd set is just the top set but with the spacing id like to have.

8 was my original favourite but 6 growing on me. I think I can discount 3. Maybe I need a 2nd car then I can have both?

I was also aware of the strikes system, but I can risk it for a bit, even if I drop the spacing, I'm left with LMAO so I can't lose?

Why isnt a plate with your initials an option? I dont like trying to create words with numbers.
Surely there's options with LAO as the last 3 letters.

Initials are just a random assortment of letters, that anyone would see and not recognise.

It's supposed to be readable by people, who could look and see L16M and think, ah that's LIAM just like J4MES is recognisable as JAMES

unfortunately all L14M registrations are gone by all the Liam's in the UK so next best is 16 or 18

Issues with plod would make me worry about the last lot. I get the issue of a fine possible being ok BUT you don't want continual fines, constant sniffing around the car or drawing unwanted attention IMHO.

Just checked DVLA E14MMO (e LIAMMO) £600. Might be worth being a bit more imaginative?

Good luck

I'm actually glad to hear that!! Not that you had a fine, but that the Police do actually care about badly spaced plates. There are so many cars with illegible dodgy plates near where I work in Saaaf London.

I was reading a thread on here the other day with someone who got a fine in the post because of their number plate being captured on anpr, so they now drive with no front plate and haven't had any bother since...

Liam- I read the same with a chuckle! Machine is fine, bored plod with time to burn is a pain. I always drive 100% legal and safe but just don't want to attract someone with too much time on their hands etc

No, i just dont get it. Im not having a go at you Liam, just im not keen on these plates at all. For me i just dont see why would you want someone looking at you saying there goes B4RRY or ST33VEE? It kind of makes me cringe. Its not like you see Alan Sugar with AL4N on his car.

Your lucky that you have unsual intials and can get cheap short plates. N3 LOA or something looks very smart imo. Classy and timeless.

The sp311ed out numb3r p14t3s kind of remind me of this sort of nonsense..

I didn't take offence, however I am one of those people who looks and says, there goes Barry. I know what you mean, if I could have Z4 LAO then I would, I'm just not a fan of having random letters in there that don't mean anything.

It's all down to personal taste, so I know not everyone will like it. Unfortunately I'm scrapping the barrel with a 6 instead of a 4.
