A petition to prevent the DVLA from selling unissued private number plates.
CARREG the UK\'s premier private number plate dealer is considering starting a petition that will ask some serious questions regarding the operating standards of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) the UK Government agency, whose mandate according to their website is "Our primary aims are to facilitate road safety and general law enforcement by maintaining registers of drivers and vehicles, and to collect vehicle excise duty (car tax)."
Yet the DVLA, an executive agency of the Department of Transport, have actually made millions of pounds in profits through the sale of private number plates, these are not the ordinary number plates that a car buyer gets when they purchase a new car, these are special number plates, where the digits do not just mean a number, but make up special words, some of which are very special indeed and therefore they are considered exclusive, so they now have a special and exclusive private car number plate, obviously it stands to reason that this number plate would be more expensive than the average car number plate, but why? Demand for private number plates is rising, and the DVLA a government agency is the only place that these special \"unissued\" number plates be purchased.
The actions of the DVLA may mean that they are actively encouraging people to break the law, because some of the private number plates they sell are mealiness unless they are altered in some manner, yet the Police Forces around the country with the help of the DVLA are checking the car registration numbers on vehicles and if they are found to be not legal the owner of the number plate would face a fine of up £1000 and/or seize the number plate from its legal owner. CARREG.co.uk believe that this is undermining the whole private number plate industry and may even effect the value of those owners who have legally purchased their cherished number plate. In order for anyone interested in this industry to have their opinion heard, CARREG is willing to support a petition to The Prime Ministers Office, 10, Downing Street, London, to stop the DVLA releasing number plates like this, to register an interest, we would ask anyone interested to visit the CARREG Forum and vote on the poll there, thank you.
