Regfinder site updates

After a long hiatus (nearly a year!) we've got back to doing some more work on Regfinder.net . Over that period we kept the plate data up to date but paid work commitments mean't nothing else got done.

Looking at our search data and web stats it appears that even though we've not paid much attention to Regfinder for a year, the site visits and number plate searches are around three times what the site got a year ago, and it was quite busy then!

So we're pleased to announce that over coming days/weeks we'll be adding a lot of new features that we hope will make Regfinder a better service. Some of these are:

The new 61 plates (being processed by us at this moment)
New site design (looking good so far)
A cross platform mobile app for iPhone, Android and Windows Phone (iPhone is in beta)
More tools to help dealers and private sellers trade in number plates and widgets so that you can put bits of Regfinder (search etc) on your own web sites.

And a bit of advertising (unfortunately).

If there's anything that you think can be improved on the site then please reply here.

Cheers

Bus spotter must pay £11,000

Bus fanatic Steven Curl must pay nearly £11,000 after running up a bill with the DVLA by using his employer’s computers.

Curl, of Haverhill, was sacked by AXA Insurance and prosecuted for fraud by abuse of trust after he used its computers to check on the ownership of buses.

Curl, 45, of Pearmain Walk, was given a five-month suspended jail term in November after admitting the charge.

The bus spotter appeared back at Ipswich Crown Court this week for a hearing under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

It heard that over nearly two years he contacted the DVLA 3,000 times, at a cost of £3.75 per number plate inquiry.

He ran up a bill of £10,983 which Mr Recorder Simon Spence has ordered him to pay by July 11. If he fails he will be jailed for seven months.

He must also pay an additional £1,200 towards the cost of the prosecution.
