Number Plates – Maidstone

Driving a vehicle with illegal number plates can mean risking a fine, so it is important to observe the strict rules laid down by the Ministry of Transport.

Many owners are unaware that even dirty number plates are illegal, and there are several other reasons why your vehicle could be stopped by the roads police. Each of these examples represents a breach of regulations:

If the number plate is the wrong colour for the age or registration of the vehicle
The size, font, and spacing of the digits do not comply
If the number plate is in any way damaged so that the registration number is obscured
The digits have been altered and look like a different character.

The above may seem a daunting checklist to ensure your vehicle’s number plate is road-legal, but the solution can easily be found at Red Oak Garage in Maidstone. We can provide number plates that meet the correct specifications and will be pleased to fit them to your vehicle. There are a number of official forms and documents which we will need to see which will verify your identity, address, and vehicle ownership, before we are able to provide your new plates. You should be able to find all this information on the DVLA section of the .gov website. If you have any difficulties with this, please get in touch with Red Oak Garage or visit our workshop in Maidstone.
