Legal number plates
It is illegal to display false number plates on your motor vehicle. Failure to display the correct number plate can land you in serious trouble. If for any reason you need a spare to replace a damaged one or you have a trailer to tow, you will have to answer several questions and prove that you are legally entitled to purchase the number plate you are applying for. The idea behind this is to help prevent serious crime where vehicles have a false number plate so that the criminals cannot be traced. Unfortunately, it causes a large amount of red tape for those genuinely wanting a new number plate.
