Question

Just working on something at the moment and need some advice regarding the law.

Does anyone know the legalities of exposing number plate, make, model, colour, mods etc of a car you have owned in the past but have since sold on.

i.e. my old 205 GTi was a red 1.6, Reg G499 LWB (now written off). But could I be done under the DPA by the new owner if the car was still alive for submitting its details over the net?

Any lawyers out there?

i didnt realise there was a legal problem about giving out other people's registration plates I wouldn't do it for people off here as a matter of courtesy, but i mean if i was naming and shaming some tosser i didn't realise its illegal.

If you are only giving out number plate details I don't see how the DPA can be invoked as you are not giving out personal information..
