Title: personalised number plates winding me up!
Post by: Dizzie on 14 September 2005, 16:59
More and more I'm seeing high illegal fonts, spacing and manipulation of numbers and letters on number plates to make them into words, etc.

It's really starting to wind me up!

I shall take some pictures to show you what I mean.

I have an illegal front plate, Its a vinal one, The amount of grief i get from the police is unbairable, But they usally drop it when i point out its one less sharp object to take a childs leg off when i eventually squash one (lets face it, with the way kids act these days its only a matter of time before we all run one over)

some are good and some are bad...i think its all just personal choice..like i wudn have mine spell my name or dinx or anything like that,but i wud have my initials at the start of it,hence my msn addy,thats a plate i was contemplatin gettin but didn bother n just stuck a fancy plate on the cab.
i think the police wanna stop stoppin people for feckin number plates and stoopid things like that and catch the feckin proper criminals (still bitter about hood) its simply because motorists are an easy target...sit in the police car and wait for sumone to go past,rather than search around,askin people and do proper work for to catch real criminals!!
