hoff Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Usually a producer, maybe a £30 fine too. I dont think you can get points, maybe for constant repeats. There are loop hole though such as not having a fixing bracket on your bumper etc. I think. Ive been lucky so far but a few on here haven't been so lucky so they can tell you more.

downimpact Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 There are loop hole though such as not having a fixing bracket on your bumper etc. loop hole as in you can get away with having no front number plate somehow?? Anyone anything more definite on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Consider a £30 fine for not wearing a seatbelt as "fuckwit tax". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have a smaller plate if the lettering and spacing is still standard. Also I think you can have import size plates if the car is an import. But to be honest im not 100% on any of those. Its a bit complicated to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballsdeep Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 well i had a few excuses... 1/ just fitted the bumper 2/ re-sprayed the mesh 3/ it fell off..... (weak excuse) 4/ chav stole it... £30 fine still a kick in the teeth.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean1933 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I got got pulled by the popo the day after i picked it up from Jurgen! I was told my front numberplate was too small. I told them it had just been imported and went through the MOT like that, not to mention it was import sized so technically legal as far as i was aware. The traffic cop said it was still illegal...gave me a 'fix it ticket' but no fine. I didnt bother fixing it, 4 months later i got a notice of discontinuance from the police .Idle threats and all that...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I dont think they fully know the law themselves TBH. A sfar as they are concerned if its not a leagal uk plate than its illeagal full stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 what is the import size lettering 63.5mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I got a tug by the police a little while ago for my plate, they said the lettering was illegal and as it was a personalised plate if i didnt change it they would have it removed. But they didnt take any details or give me a ticket so i didnt bother getting it changed, heard nothing since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbonut Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I've been numberplate-less since about March this year as the original one kept falling off Eventually gave up then had new kit and needed to let the paint 'cure' for a few days weeks. So far not had probs in fact I pulled into a Shell station recently same time as Mr policeman, I was bricking it but although he looked he said nothing. Its probably a matter of time but seems a shame to spoil the lines lolxx L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epic Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 ivbee given a ticket thing to goto an MOT garage and get it stamped in so many days to prove i changed it back to a legal one, and had to produce it... shame i was working at a garage at the time, stamped it my self lol total waist of time my plate was different font, smaller, letters moved over where the space should be, basicly totaly illegal, didnt get to much bother, and that was front and back!

ballsdeep Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 What bumper do you have? its a stock bumper but its been chopped n dropped!! what do you think??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I would just get a small to put in the centre, trying to keep the correct spacing etc (unlike mine). Then maybe "sorry officer it came with the car, I'll put it right asap:innocent:" Car looks good by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
