Is it illegal to post a picture of a license plate of a car on the internet?

[Eggy]

i saw a car with a funny license plate so I took a picture of it, but i'm not sure if i can post it up on the internet. Is it illegal to do that?

NOTE: I took the picture in a supermarket car park, if that makes any difference

Vehicle registration is a matter of public record. No, it's not illegal.

There's no expectation of privacy in public (not illegal to take pictures of things in public), nor is it illegal to photograph anybody's licence plate (during accidents, just in case you forget, you've got backup).
