Representing number plate letters and numbers
It's acceptable to represent some number plate letters with numbers.
We've listed below the standard accepted options, to help you.
Digits can be used to represent a letter. For instance the digit 4, when it sppears before the letters NDY to represent the name Andy. For example J14 NDY.
Please remember that it is illegal to change the spaces, or use screws or tape (or other methods) to misrepresent a registration number in any way. Take a look at the rules for
legal number plate display.
