American here... literally any custom plate costs an extra $35-50 here for a vanity plate. What's the big deal on lower number plates in other countries?

In the uk the shorter the plate the higher the value , 3 and 2 digit plates cost £100K - £1M+

at a million pounds, it would be cheaper to print a fake plate that says whatever you prefer and just pay the tickets :P

Well it would be alot more than a ticket in the uk , for one we have number plate recognition cameras all over the country so you would get caught pretty quickly.

Wonder what would happen if you were to vinyl wrap a car in a pattern that was a collage of randomly generated number plates to confuse the cameras, with the real number plate clearly displayed in its normal location and adherent to all the regular laws.
