Buy a personalised registration number

https://www.gov.uk/buy-a-personalised-registration-number

You can buy a personalised registration for your number plates from DVLA online or at auction. Search online to see which numbers are available and how much they cost.

Start now on the DVLA Personalised Registrations service

You’ll need a debit or credit card to use this service.

Personalised registration numbers can only be used on a vehicle registered (or about to be registered), taxed and used in the UK.

You can’t make the vehicle look newer than it actually is. For example, you can’t put a registration number onto a 2003 registered vehicle.

When you buy a personalised registration number, you’re buying the right to assign this number to a vehicle registered in your name or someone else’s name (the nominee).

Displaying number plates

  1. Overview
  2. Rules for number plates
  1. Getting number plates made up
  2. Flags, symbols and identifiers
  1. Overview

https://www.gov.uk/displaying-number-plates

Number plates (also known as licence plates) should show your vehicle registration number correctly. You can’t rearrange letters or numbers, or alter them so that they’re hard to read.

You could be fined up to £1,000 and your car will fail its MOT test if you drive with incorrectly displayed number plates.

The current vehicle registration number format was introduced in 2001. It consists of:

  • 2 letters (these refer to the region in the country where your vehicle was first registered)
  • 2 numbers (these tell you when it was issued)
  • 3 letters chosen at random

You can get theft-resistant number plates – these make it harder for someone to remove them from your vehicle quickly and reuse them. Ask your local car dealer or registered number plate supplier for more information.

Driver information – Challenging a parking fine from local council – Stay Safe and Stay Legal!!!!

This is from our DVLA website – information available to everyone! Public information! The information changes regularly and do not rely on this blog for legal information!

Stay Safe and Stay Legal

GOV.UK

Why not, check out the website? Lots of useful information.

Challenge a parking fine

Challenge a penalty charge notice (PCN) for parking with the local council that issued it.

Use the council’s postcode.

Postcode lookup
For example SW1A 2AA

Find a postcode on Royal Mail’s postcode finder

What you need to know

Available in England and Wales only.

You have 28 days to challenge a PCN. If you do it within 14 days and your challenge is rejected, you may only have to pay 50% of the fine.

If your parking fine isn’t from a council

Check the parking ticket to find out who issued it and how to challenge it.

Last updated: 13 June 2017

Paying a ticket

How you pay a parking ticket or penalty charge notice depends on what type it is and who issued it.

You usually have 28 days to pay. In some cases, the fine is reduced by 50% if you pay within 14 days.

If you lose your ticket, contact the ticket issuer to find out how to pay.

Paying and challenging parking tickets is different in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Penalty charge notice (PCN)

As well as for parking, you can get a PCN for:

  • breaking some traffic rules, eg going against a ‘no right turn sign or driving in a bus lane
  • not paying the charge for the London congestion zone, low emission zone or Dartford Crossing (Dart Charge) on time

You can pay online for a:

Check the ticket for other ways to pay.

Deadlines and penalties

If you don’t pay a PCN within 28 days, you’ll get a charge certificate and you’ll have 14 days to pay the original fine plus 50% more.

You’ll get a court order demanding payment if you don’t pay a charge certificate within 14 days.

Fixed penalty notice (FPN)

You can get an FPN for parking from the police, local council or Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).

You can pay an FPN online. Check the ticket for other ways to pay.

Deadlines and penalties

If you don’t pay an FPN within 28 days, you’ll have to pay 50% more.

If you don’t pay you’ll be prosecuted – you may have to pay a bigger fine as well as court costs.

You’ll only get penalty points on your licence for certain types of parking FPN, eg for leaving a vehicle in a dangerous position.

You can also get an FPN for speeding and minor motoring offences.

Other parking tickets

Check the ticket or contact the ticket issuer for deadlines and ways to pay:

  • standard or excess charge notices issued by a local council
  • tickets from private companies, eg from supermarket car parks

They do a great job, under a lot of financial and time constraints pressure, so support the DVLA!

GOV.UK

Why not, check out the website? Lots of useful information.

https://www.gov.uk/appeal-dvla-fine

Appeal a DVLA fine

You might be able to appeal a fine that you got for:

  • not taxing or insuring your vehicle
  • not telling DVLA you no longer have the vehicle

Reasons you can appeal

You can appeal to DVLA if you have proof that you:

  • taxed your vehicle
  • had insurance for your vehicle
  • already told DVLA you’re no longer the vehicle’s keeper

Your proof (for example, an acknowledgement letter from DVLA) must be dated before the offence.

You can’t appeal if you:

  • changed your address but didn’t tell DVLA
  • lost your paperwork or you never received a reminder from DVLA
  • forgot or were away when you had to tax, insure or register your vehicle as off the road (SORN)
  • missed a Direct Debit payment because of a problem with your bank

You must pay the fine as soon as possible if you don’t have a valid reason.

You can pay online for vehicle tax and SORN fines, but you must pay all other fines by phone or post. Your letter will tell you how to pay.

If you don’t pay the fine your vehicle could be clamped or crushed, your details passed to a debt collection agency, or you could be taken to court.

How to appeal

The letter you got from DVLA saying you’ve been fined will tell you how to appeal and how long you have.

If you’ve lost your letter you can appeal by writing to DVLA:

DVLA Enforcement Centre
D12
DVLA
Swansea
SA99 1AH

You must include your vehicle’s registration number.

What happens next

DVLA will contact you after they’ve got your appeal to tell you what will happen next.

They do a great job, under a lot of financial and time constraints, so support the DVLA!

Penalty points (endorsements)

1. Overview

The courts can fine you and ‘endorse’ your driving record with penalty points if you’re convicted of a motoring offence.

Endorsements must stay on your driving record for 4 or 11 years, depending on the offence.

The endorsement and penalty points are put on your driver record. View your driving licence record to see what penalty points you have and when they’ll be removed.

You can be disqualified from driving if you build up 12 or more penalty points within a period of 3 years. There are different rules for new drivers.

Endorsement codes and processes in Northern Ireland are different.

GOV.UK

3. How long endorsements stay on your driving record

Endorsements stay on your driving record for 4 or 11 years depending on the offence. This can start from either the date you’re convicted or the date of your offence.

The endorsement is ‘valid’ for the first:

  • 3 years, for a 4-year endorsement
  • 10 years, for an 11-year endorsement

A court can take your endorsement into account if both:

  • you commit another offence while it’s valid
  • the endorsement is still on your driving record when the court considers your case

Other people, like insurers and employers, may be able to find out that you have the endorsement:

  • any time during a 4-year endorsement
  • during the first 5 years of an 11-year endorsement, or the first 30 months if you’re under 18

4 years from date of conviction

An endorsement will stay on a driving record for 4 years from the date of conviction if the offence:

  • is for reckless/dangerous driving – shown on the driving record as DD40, DD60 and DD80
  • results in disqualification

Example

Date of conviction 28 May 2011 – the endorsement must stay on the driving record until 28 May 2015.

4 years from the date of offence

In all other cases endorsements stay on your driving record for 4 years from the date of offence.

Example

Date of offence 10 June 2012 – the endorsement must stay on the driving record until 10 June 2016.

11 years from date of conviction

If the offence is:

  • drink driving or drug driving – shown on the driving record as DR10, DR20, DR30, DR31, DR61 and DR80
  • causing death by careless driving while under the influence of drink or drugs – shown on the driving record as CD40, CD50 and CD60
  • causing death by careless driving, then failing to provide a specimen for analysis – shown on the driving record as CD70

Example

Date of conviction 3 December 2009 – the endorsement must stay on the driving record until 3 December 2020.

4. New drivers

Your licence will be cancelled (revoked) if you get 6 or more points within 2 years of passing your test.

Points on your provisional licence

Any penalty points on your provisional licence that haven’t expired will be carried over to your full licence when you pass your test. However, your licence will be cancelled if you get any further penalty points that take you up to a total of 6 or more within 2 years of passing your driving test.

If your licence is cancelled within 2 years

You’ll have to apply and pay for a new provisional licence and pass both theory and practical parts of the driving or riding test again to get a full licence.

If you haven’t sent off for your full licence

You must retake both parts of your driving test if your licence has been cancelled after you’ve passed your test, but you haven’t sent off for your full licence yet. You can use your current provisional licence to take the tests.

Who’s covered by the rules

These rules apply to all new drivers who passed their first driving test in:

  • Great Britain
  • Northern Ireland
  • Isle of Man
  • Channel Islands
  • Gibraltar
  • the European Community (EC) and European Economic Area (EEA)

The EC/EEA countries are:

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Spain and Sweden.

There isn’t another 2 year period if you pass a test for another category of vehicle, for example to drive a heavy goods vehicle.

Foreign licences

The rules also apply if you exchange a foreign driving licence for a British licence and then pass a further driving test in Great Britain.

GOV.UK

5. Handing over your driving licence for endorsement

If you get an endorsement you’ll need to hand over your licence to either the police, a fixed penalty office (FPO) or when you appear in court.

You’ll need to get a replacement if you’ve lost your licence.

If your driving licence is not returned to you, contact the FPO or court you sent it to.

If you’ve changed address or your licence is damaged, the FPO or court will send your driving licence to DVLA to be updated. It will be returned to you within 3 weeks.

Endorsements before 8 June 2015

Before 8 June 2015, you needed to hand over your licence and its paper counterpart to the court.

If you didn’t, your licence will be invalid. Reapply for your licence before you drive again.

6. Removing expired endorsements from your driving record

Most expired endorsements will automatically be removed from your driving record when they’re no longer valid.

The length of time they stay on your record depends on how serious the offence was.

7. How to check your endorsement details

View your driving licence record to see what penalty points you have and when they’ll be removed.

You can also contact DVLA.

Incorrect endorsement details on your licence

Contact the court that convicted if your endorsement details are shown incorrectly on your driving licence.
