Why You Might Need New Replacement Number Plates
or anyone else might need a replacement number plate, and they include the following:
- Your number plate is cracked
- Your number plate is broken or stolen
- Your plate has marks, and the numbers and letters are no longer recognisable
- You need to quickly replace your plate as soon as possible because it is illegal to use plates that are hard to read.
For example, if your plate is stolen, you must provide proof of entitlement to obtain a replacement.
Do you know that if you drive a vehicle whose number plate is altered, obscured, or broken in the UK, you’re committing a criminal offence and can be pulled over? It is legally required to have clearly displayed, undamaged number plates that comply with UK standards. Whether this is an honest mistake or not, you could face significant consequences.
This is also a safety issue. Sharp pieces of plastic could come away from the rest of the number plate, causing serious injury to passers-by!
If you continue to drive with incorrectly displayed number plates, you could be fined £ 1000, and your vehicle will fail its MOT test.
