    This looked like a good place to add a note!
    
    Can anyone tell me whether the non-standard type-faces for reg. no's
    that are getting more and more common, have become legal? The 'lads'
    round my way have all suddenly acquired italic / curvy / hand writing,
    so maybe the law changed recently?
    Maybe someone who makes up the plates just moved into town!!

2571.12And they look syupid in most cases!CHEFS::CROSSAAs Bob is my witless!Thu Jan 23 1997 13:049
    I thought they were still illegal. I assume, after yesterdays piece
    about Gatso's, that the Police just do't have the time for such trivial
    matters. I would have thought that if the number is made to look so    
    illegible it cannot be easily read you are still likley to get pulled over.

    >italic / curvy / hand writing
    
    I think its mentioned here somewhere that its a loophole in the
    regulations in as much that there is a regulation height of characters
    but not the 'font' so as long as the curvy / weird letters and numbers
    are the correct height they are legal.
