The only time my numberplate was challenged was when pulled over on a
motorway specifically to check it (they said). Luckily I'd recently been
reading some geekish stuff [2] about the spacing of numberplates, and
was confident it was legal (and not just that, spaced completely
normally[3] without even trying to bend the rules).
They seemed a bit peeved, but the kerning[1] on the number I have does
make it look rather more spaced out than it would be with different
letters.
[1] Or more exactly the lack of it, as decreed in the regulations.
[2] Currently V796.
[3] 61mm[4] per letter, with an extra 20mm between the two halves.
[4] No idea where this comes from, it's not sufficiently close to 2.5"
for example, and if metric why not 60mm?
