In this issue we bring you an exclusive interview with top model, racing driver and YouTuber Jodie Kidd. Jodie has certainly kept her fans on their toes with a succession of dramatic career direction changes. Following her 1990s fame as one of the UK's top fashion models, she stepped off the catwalk and into a racing car. Those who were surprised by the move were, no doubt, even more surprised when she quickly began winning races.

More recently, Jodie's love of cars prompted the launch of her YouTube channel, Kidd in a Sweet Shop. The channel gives Jodie the perfect excuse to travel around, riding in fast cars and chatting to celebrities and big names in the automotive world about their shared passion.

While we were visiting the world of social media, we stopped off for a quick chat with TikTok rising star Ola Ojo, better known to his followers as Mr Tov. Ola's family focused channel features light-hearted pranks, gags and general smiley stuff, all made with the participation of wife Livia (who has her own successful channel) and young son Leo (who, no doubt, will soon be a star in his own right. Check out Ola's great new name plates in the article.

The role of DVLA

Car registrations and number plates, including personalised number plates, in the UK, are the responsibility of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, usually known as the DVLA. It issues new registrations twice a year and also maintains the central database that records details of all vehicles licensed to drive on UK roads, along with their keeper and registration information.

Regtransfers works closely with DVLA to complete registration transfers as quickly and efficiently as possible. Regtransfers is a DVLA-registered supplier of personal car registrations and number plates and is listed on the DVLA Registrations website. All number plates supplied by Regtransfers comply with DVLA's prescribed standards and regulations.

DVLA administers all UK registration transfers and issues updated registration documents when the registration number of a car is changed, or when a registration is removed from a vehicle and placed on a retention document in accordance with the DVLA Retention Scheme.

DVLA is a registered trade mark of the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency. Regtransfers is not affiliated with the DVLA or DVLA Personalised Registrations. Regtransfers is a recognised reseller of unissued Government stock.

Number plate regulations

When a car is on the road, it is an offence to display number plates bearing any number other than the vehicle's officially recorded registration number. If you purchase a private registration, learn how to transfer private plates before displaying the new number.

All registration number plates displayed on UK vehicles must comply with the official number plate regulations. DVLA oversees enforcement of number plates display regulations and maintains a register of approved manufacturers and retailers of vehicle number plates.

Regtransfers is not part of, and is not formally affiliated with DVLA.
