The law's the law, why should you get away with driving around with the digits too small on your plate, and perhaps getting away with the odd speeding ticket 'cos the camera couldn't make out your number?
You take your chances i'm afraid. No sympathy from here.

I used to have a private number plate with the letters tightly spaced together. It was more trouble than it was worth.
Sorry to hear about it, to be honest the coppers around the Northampton area are an absolute pain in the ****. They are complete obsessed with stopping cars and getting people done for speeding all the time.
Even some of there so called 'Traffic Safety Vans!!!' are unmarked.

**** happens dude
As well I know..........
Will however say that if all they have to do is stop peeps on motorway due to number plate lettering then I am moving there, crime rate must be so low. Where were you ?

Did you know the plate was too small? If so why are you complaining about getting pulled?
Small plates look crap IMO, bought by chavs for their Nova's.

Isn't it the case it if it's a Jap import the plate can be smaller ( than UK regs ) , and often has a smaller fixing for it? Not sure about spacing though, the law tightened up a while back to stop people making names etc. out of the reg plate, or using italics etc. to make plate hard to see for the money sorry safety cameras.

they enforce the law so that the automatic systems used for speeding/tax evasion can read your car identity, why should you not suffer like the rest of us?
You knew you were breaking the law, it's a bit unfair to slag the police off for inconveniencing you to enforce it. Those police oficers were risking their life to enforce your breaking of the law, but you dont see that, you are just concerned about your own safety, selfish attitude or what!
If you want to play the game, play the game, but dont whine about it afterwards, that what children do.
P.S thanks for the laugh.

The DVLA lay down rules regarding plates.
Simple really.
PS. I have an illegal plate as well, it's a risk, and I've been pulled the once as well.

The DVLA sent me docs from their Cardiff office regarding sizes etc, 2001 onwards and they are very fussy, before 2001 there is quite a bit of freedom.
I keep it in the car with other docs to avoid getting intoa slinging match with the local PD.
