If this is a planned escape, a full tank and a couple of 20l jerry cans will get you from Land's End to John o' Groats, and back in a modern estate doing ~50mpg

- jowsie 8y agoOr just swap your plate for one from a same make and model you found on eBay. You can trigger ANPR's all you want and even the police vehicle mounted ones won't be cause for much suspicion.
- colejohnson66 8y agoYou don’t even need to buy a plate. If you’re gonna commit a crime, why not just swap it with someone else’s who has the same make and model?
- oliwarner 8y agoIt's not possible to legally purchase a plate for a registration you don't own. About 10 years ago the DVLA started to crack down on places printing plates without changing eligibility ahead of time. I know we're already talking about the law, and there are always ways around this, but you're probably better off sticking a foreign plate on the car.
- jstanley 8y agoIt is easy to purchase a number plate for whatever text you like, e.g. https://www.myshowplates.com/ https://www.myshowplates.com/ I find this type of thing the easiest place to purchase number plates because they don't make you jump through a load of hoops with sending copies of the V5.
- oliwarner 8y agoI did say legally. The Road Safety Act 2006 requires suppliers of number plates to be registered and, looking at the law, I see no provision for the sale of "things that look like number plates but they're really not, honest guv". UK statute is painful to read and interpret though. I may have missed something.
- jstanley 8y agoYou implied that the illegality of purchasing such a plate rested on the customer. I think it is perfectly legal to purchase such a plate, it's just not legal to sell one.
