Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament

Rejected petition Allow the characters on private registrations to be spaced out to display names.

Allow the space to be moved so it shows the name/word, which is the reason the plate would have been purchased in the first place.

More details

Police ANPR systems can still read the number plates and pick up the vehicle details so I don't see why they can't be spaced to actually show the name. As long as there isn't any illegal bits done, such as adding a dot between 11 to make a H, then it should be allowed.
