Steve.
To save me having one made up, anyone got a number plate which says 'sva test' on that they dont need any more? I have seen several people
with them, and seems like a good idea.
David
In my opinion you shouldn't display anything in place of a numberplate before you have been issued with one. If you HAVE to display anything it
would be best to use the chassis number.

Perhaps just print one off and laminate it and stick it on with double sided tape.

I'm with SeaBass - don't bother, it'll only annoy some self-righteous policeman. Just make sure that you've got all the necessary
paperwork (driving licence, insurance and appointment letter) and allow sufficient time for any delays that may be caused by such an officer.
On my SVA visit I was 1 hour early, which gave me loads of reserve time and meant that I could unload, get a cup of tea, etc. and then get my car at
the front of the queue.
Have fun!

Ok, scratch that idea, I'll just leave it as it is.
I wonder how many people have gone through speed cameras too fast on the way to the sva test? (and got away with it)
Apart from anything the speedo could be out!

Talking of speeding/speedos, On the way to my SVA I noticed that I was doing "35 mph" whilst keeping up with everything else on the motorway. I guessed - correctly as it turned out - that one of the 2 magnets had fallen off, so adjusted the speedo settings (doubed or halved, can't remember which) to fix it. At SVA the speedo was within limits
A few years ago i was told by a traffic copper that is a £30 fine for not diplaying a number plate but upto £2500 for displaying an incorrect number
plate.
I wouldn't put anything on the car.

For first SVA I use black insulation tape to spell out 'SVA' on the back, but as folks have said, you don;t need to display anything.
The other issue is if you fit a plate, even a blank one, SVA are within their rights to fail you if the radii aren't to spec.
