The DVLA should re introduce a separate Trade Plate with white letters on red background for private and general use, as was previously valid from 1923 until 1970 when it was abolished. The new road tax system now stops all the motor trade from using vehicles privately unless they register and tax in their own name, which will devalue all our one owner cars.
Also it's about time the Trade Plate is re designed to cope with the current design of the motor vehicle. I am hearing lots of stories about police stopping (and fining) dealers for putting their plates under the windscreen. Lets face it not many cars have chrome bumpers anymore!!
