If I told you I'd have to kill you!!! :wink: :wink:
The answer is not actually that exciting!!!!
Have a look on www.rac.co.uk
Select My RAC - you will need to register for this - it's free and you do not need to be a member of the RAC
When you log in you will be given the option to input a vehicle registration into the free data check.
And there we have it…. Input the vehicle registration and the info will pop up as if by magic.

Well... you'd think so, wouldn't you... however I was "reliably" informed by a member of the Northants constabulary that this isn't the case.
I was towing my trailer with a hired vehicle and he pulled me up for displaying different plates front and rear. (The trailer had the plate from my 90 on it)
I asked him what I was supposed to do.... considering that you have to take all the documents, a DNA sample, and your first-born child to get a number plate these days (and since I didn't own the vehicle I couldn't do this).
He paused for a second and then... (you'll like this)... suggested I made up a plate "even if it is just on a piece of cardboard"
When I pointed out that he would then be pulling me over for an illegal plate... he didn't really know what to say.... :roll:

Sounds like normal police to me, make up law as its suits, attempt to enforce law, inc. made up law, again as it suits.
Law can only be made by parliament.
Law can only be enforced by the courts.
Not that most police employees, warrant holders or not, see it that way, bloody civilians (all of them)! :-(

I thought that only applied if the towing vehicle was registered as agricultural machinery to save farmers changing number plates when swapping trailers during harvest.

I posted this self-same point on 'T&T' with a link to this page & I've copied/pasted one reply below.

BTM,
I have had a look at your link.
Will you post a reply on your mud club site informing them that you can take the plate off the back of the towing vehicle and put it on the trailer to stay legal or wouldn't the Policeman know that?
