Not so bad, N123KY R

Only a BMW driver would bother changing the plate layout to read like the above.

Always one everywhere you go isn't there! Thanks for your input, very helpful indeed.

Hi
My other half was recently pulled over on the way back from Wales (Gwynedd) for having an incorrectly spaced number plate. We received a Conditional Offer Of Fixed Penalty  about 10 days ago. She was pulled over on the 15th March and the date of the fine letter is dated 15th April. I just want to check that these kind of fines aren't meant to be sent with 28 days as it is £100 we could well do without paying at the minute due to myself being furloughed and my self employed partner earning nothing.
I'm just looking for some info please not any dad type lecture on the number plate
Incidentally, the 'offer' is the fine and not court proceedings. What could I expect if I went to court as a fine?
Cheers

Good.  I hope the fine is painful to pay.
Next time, don't go out of your way to buy an illegal plate just so it almost, kind of says your name and just get a normal one.

You're thinking of 14 days for the initial s172 request for driver information to come through from a photo. That bit was done roadside. Thereafter, they have six months to proceed, and it's well within that.

Lemme guess, that one's already been "discussed" domestically, right...?

Good. Utterly self-inflicted, you muppet...

Incidentally, the 'offer' is the fine and not court proceedings. What could I expect if I went to court as a fine?

One hell of a lot larger penalty, plus costs.
Take the FPN. At least there's no points.

And... Take the hint and swap the plates back to legal ones. Go on, how bad were they?

Not so bad, N123KY R lol. Any idea if a second pull would result in the same fine or worse? She's had the plate now for months and not been pulled in out small town but the one weekend we go away in her car we get pulled. Typical.

What is it supposed to say?

At a wild guess, the OP's OH is called Nicky R, and needs reminding of this fact whenever she returns to her car.

I saw it as a bad attempt to be knickers.
