My car failed its MOT yesterday, purely because of the illegal number plates. They weren’t displaying the post-code of the issuer not the BS mark. I was told the new rule came in 3 weeks ago and that all number plates not displaying these two things will be failed!
I can’t believe that at all…. does that mean millions of cars will now have to purchase new number plates? I certainly couldn’t find anything on-line about this new rule so await my query to the DVLA.
Anyway, my number plates were still illegal with a non standard font 
I’ve now got some ‘legal’ plates that temporarily adhere to my permanent ones for MOT purposes. After all, the Police couldn’t give a damn providing they can read the mark properly.
I was looking around the net for companies that offer plate making and found Funny Vanity Plates. They’ve got a mahoosive choice and you’re able to play around with different fonts, colours and images! They’ve got a bespoke design service and umpteen ideas for something a bit different.
Great for ‘show’ plates or even door signs, fridge signs, the ideas for usage are never ending. I quite like the one I did of my own personal plate shown up above

Number Plates
The regulations only apply to number plates made after 2001. the law has been in place for some time but just became part of the MOT test recently.
