You know those? ..."I thought you need to know that I have three kids and a dog and we are all happy all the time"..Like I care??..You are just the car in front of me..that's it. Sheesh.

Re: Personalised number plates
why put "baby on board" in the back window of a car? who driving behind cares if they have a baby on not, Nothing special, all families have a baby at some time or other.Actually more dangerous having it as some drivers may have to get close behind to read it
My number plate has been on several cars I have owned in the past and to be honest I don't give a **** what others think had it for too many years to worry about it. Think the DVLA released it around about 1984 for sale which is when I bought it

Oh boy, could I have fun making a sticker for your back window, Dongle.
Actually, that would make a good new thread, if I could be bothered.

Re: Personalised number plates
One downside of having a personalised number plate though, this is from local police following such a theft. Any professional car thief who steals a car with personalised number plates will, as soon as possible, even just round the corner, change those for other number plates with a regular number. It's just too recognisable to drive it very far with personalised number plates, too many people may notice it and who's driving. Once that is done it's 'unrecognisable' as far as the number plate goes. It may then be on cloned false number plates but nobody would know that, it would not be picked up by ANPR cameras either.A car stolen that has regular number plates may be picked up by ANPR cameras some time after the theft, by then though it could be miles and miles away. Or even without any chance of being picked up by ANPR, locked up in a garage or at the docks waiting to be shipped abroad.
