private reg plates on retention
Those motorists who hold private reg plates on retention certificates should check to see if they are named as grantee or nominee. If grantee then as is well, however if just a nominee they should be aware that the grantee still can renew the certificate or request a duplicate therfore superceding the buyers certificate and defrauding them of the number they have paid for. Those buyers of who need to doctor their plates to make them work by changing the spacing or alter characters using bolts or similar are facing a dilemma. The police are taking more and more interest in these motorists as their cars are foiling the cameras the police are using more and more to detect motoring and other crimes.There will be a good indicator of who they economy is doing in the next couple of weeks. There will be another auction of DVLA Registrations in the first week in August and historically they have been a good indicator of how the economy is performing. When the credit crunch struck the auctions were hit very early but have been improving of late. A good auction could mean the public are feeling good about prospects.There was a time when having cherished registrations was a symbol of opulence and status but now that over one million motorists now have them in the united kingdom they no longer have the same impact. Now they are seen as a bit of frivolous fun not to be taken seriously. Many are so cheap that they are throw away and end up being left on the car when it is traded in. or sold.
