How is 60 in a 30 an innocent mistake?
I suppose you could miss a sign or it's obscured. But 30mph zones are usually pretty obvious.
How is 60 in a 30 an innocent mistake?
You're deliberately changing the letter or number.
What are you doing by moving a space? The number plate still says 123 ABC. Instead of 123A BC.
Who’s Reg Spacing?
Do you cry when you see an illegal plate?
This is such a pointless argument. Spacing does not stop legibility of a number plate (or a postcode).
[/thread]An example could be, a plate that should read A13, but mis spacing can make that appear as AB.

How?
A13
A 13
A1 3
A 1 3
No matter how you space that a computer is never seen 13 as B unless none legal fonts are used and somehow making the 1 and 3 really close but then that’s not removing a space or adding a space that’s actually changing the size of spacing which I don’t think is possible any more.
Someone who has the plate A13 and spaces it A 13 won’t be making the 13 look like a B to a human or any computer.
The law is the law but no one is been harmed and if people want to space or not space their plates and it makes them feel better then is that not what matters that it gives them happiness and as long as they are keep to legal fonts and sizing so the plate can be read easily what’s the harm and to anyone else, let them get on with their life’s.
Guess Im more laid back as such things don’t bother me and nor do I wish any back luck or harm on people who try to personalise their cars even if their taste is aweful.
yep, said the same myself, however, I can never be bothered with the ensuing arguments and moral highground hahaha.How?

Catching people with illegally spaced plates is far more important than catching, for example, people that burgle houses
One is minor paperwork and some good income for the force
The other is enormous admin and nothing but cost to the force
Makes sense.

The problem is, it's not just about spacing. It's about people deciding that they get to draw the line between what is acceptable and what isn't - often with no understanding or care for the complications this brings. You've drawn the line that spacing is ok, but fonts and sizing isn't. What about people who draw other lines, perhaps they want a different font, smoked plates or different colours - I'm sure that gives them happiness.
That's why there is a standard. Someone has drawn the line and spacing is part of that decision. Some may think it's arbitrary, and perhaps it is, but a line does need to be drawn somewhere.
