Of course - I have a life outside of work, as do MOST of my colleagues. Some there's no hope for though.
With regard to Dubmeister plates - if they display the correst BSAU numbers, and have either no country symbol or GB and not a 'D' then I don't have an issue. I generally just deal with the german or french font ones, or any wrong fonts or GB / D / F / whatever plates. Mainly because they can confuse my ANPR system and mis-read it.

Then prepare to get fined left right and centre until you compromise or get standard plates.

Also as it was a private plate it got reported to DVLA. Too many reports and they can remove the private plate. If told then i would be changing them. Fines are now £60. You will almost certainly get one if the same officer sees you again.

I'd feel terrible having to bother people for trivial stuff like that............../................I know they spoil your anpr camera things but really come on!!

Stopping somebody for a metal plate with legible font is exactly the sort of thing I was talking about in the offday thread.
Surely there are enough twats with incorrect spacing and italics to hassle

If I was a traffic cop i'd be more bothered about folk running about with no insurance or licence, or bald tyres & no tax. I guess there just answering to someone else at the end of the day as well though....

He's not even a traffic cop, he should be away ruffing up innocent bystanders instead of getting above his station and pulling cars.

If the ANPR cannot read the plate then how else are they going to find out if your car is insured etc without stopping you?
Also if your car gets stolen and the ANPR's can't ready your plate font there is a much lesser chance of it being found.

I could tell who's insured & who isnt in 99% of cases by just taking a look at the driver & without all those fancy gismo's

looks like me and fro-dizzle were thinking along the same lines, and colin as funny as that is in this current climate of high unemployment i think there will be a growing number of unimsured drivers around. John, yeah that plate doesnt look too bad your right but you have to remember the copper is just doing his job. i think the lad was lucky to get a warning tbh and not a fine

Iv passed an ANPR camera before with out any issues and have a police beemer sitting right behind me a month or 2 ago and never pulled me so im guessing the ANPR camera must be able to read my plate fine.

ANPR could easily read that, as it could pretty much any illegally spaced plate and most fonts you could throw at it, whether its retro-reflective or not. Obviously it can't do swirly fonts as the context checkers used in this country are trained to standard plates. It wouldn't be hard to have loads of context checkers running at once, however it would break naas requirements for the reply time from a hit, to PNC or BOF and result back to the car/mobile.
Plates are the way they are for a reason, if you don't like it and get pulled then don't complain tbh.

For those with the Dubmeister UK Legal Pressed Plates, how did you go around sending Original documents to them? Do'nt fancy sending my d.license or V5 to them via post and sod driving to Somerset.
