Colonic irritation

I read your advice about buying a personal registration to avoid cloning. I cannot understand how that will stop someone either stealing my number plate or using my number on a stolen car and me getting done for whatever offences he commits.

The advice was for the situation where the car's existing age-related plate had already been cloned. If you change it to a cheap personal registration, then the car or cars committing the offences on your old registration will not be registered to you.
