The law is still being flouted, in my area there is a a brand new Pug with an A prefix cherished number with black perspex plates. Most of these plate apparently are sold via the internet from the Irish Republic --- still rather more of a "free state" than the UK.
That however is not as bad as the old VW Polo I see occaisionally on which all of the numbers have been heavily doctored to look like letters and two of the leters doctored to look like numbers ! I was stuck behind it on a twisty back road for several minutes (the owner never drives faster than 20 mph) and it took me ages to figure out what the undoctored index mark was.
