Its the same as everything really, if you feel you want to break the law 'a little bit' and feel ok about it then chance your luck.....
..... You're still breaking the law though
Its like Lee Hurst once said 'you wouldn't see an old lady in the street and say "how much you got love? Oh 20 quid, I'll just nick 5 then"'
Rules is rules mate. Choose your own path
I have had them in the past but as mentioned before, you're attracting enough attention already so be careful how much more you get.

i dont think smaller plates are too bad as long as the numbers and letters are sized and spaced properley, however those stupid people that buy a private plate and then put gaffer tape and extra drilled holes and screws etc in them to make them slightly resemble there names are pathetic! if you cant afford the proper ones then dont bother!

I got swamped by 3 traffic cop cars blocking me in on the M60 3 weeks ago.
Mine were just fancy numbers and letters {no smaller than the legal limit, i offered to swap them as they are only held on by velcro, but i got a £30 on the spot fine when i asked why? he said "i was asking for it by driving a car like that", then he told me to put my foot down to rejoin the motorway, because he had pulled me over to close to the exit road.
The matter is still ongoing as it was totally uncalled for, sorry no faith in the law....

Maybe they were a bit jealous of the guy's car! Would they have done the same to an old granny?
Oh and there's a teenage type around me who has black number plates on his corsa - not been stopped I bet!

Dont worry about it. If you get pulled, just act dumb...just say your sorry, you bought the car with it on and you will get it changed. I know someone who is always getting tugged for the "illegal" plates.
The small front plate looks cool, and suits the car better than the normal size plates.

Ive had a private plate on all sorts of cars and never been pulled over once. Ive had small letters and large spacing. My new plate one of the letters actually looks like number. Its just luck of the draw really. Im all for them.

My plate is private and legally spaced.
I hold the owners of illegally spaced plates with the same contempt as those who drive with their foglights on - spakkers who think it's "proper cool and clever" to JUST step over the line
Renounce your illegal plates and join me in the waving, at those who do not, in a manner that questions the drivers personal habits
