In Mile End tonight I watched with amazement at a what can only be
described as a genuine american-style stretched SUV.

Funny thing was, the numberplates were'nt in any script I couldrecognise.
Not Japanese, Chinese, Latin, Cyrillic or Arabic. I assume it's exempt
from the congestion charge in that case.

As it's not hard to hide a stretched SUV, why dod they police fail to pull
these types of vehicles over?

I think that just leaves Greek, Korean and Cambodian. And possibly
Nepalese, though I'm not sure about that one.

Given that you watched with amazement, you obviously don't see many of
them, so how do you know?

What did this one do, anyway?

And Georgian.

Though you'll probably find it was a made up plate perhaps for a film
shoot.
No one is going to import a car like that into the country for their
own
personal use for the short period they can get away without having a UK

plate. I've seen a couple these stretched SUVs about , one was a Hummer
and the other was a Ford Excursion. Both of them utterly tasteless and
full
of chavs on their way to a nightclub.

Which of those does Hebrew script fall under, out of interest ?

I think it falls under the group not used for numberplates (which
includes several Indian scripts), BICBW.

You are right. Hebrew script is not used on numberplates. Our plates here
are NN-NNN-NN (except for some old ones that are NNN-NNN or NN-NNN) where
the final group of 2 digits is now an importer suffix.
The SUV was probably a Federation Diplomatic vehicle from the Klingon
Embassy.

Aha, a cunning move on the reverse diagonal. Well done.

Excuse my ignorance, but is that kind of vehicle illegal?

Have they started legislating against bad taste?
