Number Plate crackdown
Dave K:
Don't know about Crackdown, as I've cracked my numberplate!
Mind you the Vauxhall van it hit is in worse condition. ;) :twisted:

I know of the guy with with the DISCO plate, he races a car at Castle Combe and has DISCO on something like a big bently or BM 6 Coupe, he owns a load of nightclubs and is minted (through his own hard work and smarts mind you)
mobi:
the laws for stick on number plates only apply to vehicles reg after 2001,

font and comply with British standards in relation to size, font and
background.

Half the time I can't even tell what it's supposed to say as the link between what's on the plate and what they think it says is so tenuous!

:clap:
About time they cracked down on it. Some are altered so much I often wonder what the original reg is !
I have noticed a lot of boyracers are using fonts so small they would have to leave the plate behind in a hit and run in order for anyone to read it.
While the plod are having a crackdown, will they also be checking the colour of their lights ?
I saw a private hire taxi this week with red headlights ! How the heck did he pass any sort of licensing inspection ?
A few years ago they clamped down on truckers having tiny Christmas trees on the dashboard ( for showing colours other than white at the front of the vehicle).
Nowadays, it seems that unless you have fairy lights all over the car, you are in the minority.
Can anyone tell me what those tiny blue lights on the bonnet do, apart from get up my nose ? No you don't look like a copper and I am NOT moving over for you !

Captaincolourful - live n let live - you may not like their little blue lights (I hate 'em and their boom boom music) but they in turn might hate out MT tyres or winch mounts! The main problem here is - each vehicle stopped and fined for illegal plate or whatever is a Law broken - crime solved. Makes 'em look good. But report your car stolen, house broken into or property damaged and no one seems to want to know!!!!! Time to get priorities redressed and start paying more attention to stopping the crime that realy affects us, the people who pay for their services.
