SUPRALOOPY Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 For no front plate.. Its about time i've got away with it for 6 months now:) . They were really ok coppers, and after the ticket asked what it had and what bhp and so on..we had quite a laugh and he said go on give it some up the road:eyebrows: and i said no way .. so my car will now look shit as it will have a standard size plate stuck somewhere on the bumper.

Homer Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Did you get a rectification notice, fine or warning? I've had one rectification notice and no fine, got one more left before the final warning. At least you can't get points for no plate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had one rectification notice and no fine, got one more left before the final warning. At least you can't get points for no plate! That's right but you can get given a dreaded Q plate if you are a persistant offender for any numberplate offence. One to bear in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 A Q plate is a plate issued by the DVLA to vehicles where is origin is in doubt or has had its original plate withdrawn. It can affect the value of your vehicle and has a certain stigma attached to them by the motoring industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know about that (thanks to your previous post on it!), but its only been formally record once in the past 2 years so have one more warning available? Most of the local coppers know the car and get the occasional wagged finger from them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 That's right but you can get given a dreaded Q plate if you are a persistant offender for any numberplate offence. One to bear in mind. That's typical bloody stupidness of the legal system in the UK. Why would being told to put a Q plate on their car bother someone who doesn't put a number plate on their car?
