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.

Thanks for the laugh - thought the same thing yesterday when I got stopped for having my plate in the windscreen on full view and readable rather than on the front bumper buried under lengths of recovery rope and in all possibility broken.
Yep gotta be an excuse to up the conviction stats :roll: :roll:

Oddly enough I thought either a mobile DJ or a nightclub owner were likely holders of the reg in question! Bet he's wondering why he keeps having to fend off Land Rover drivers who want to buy it...
I think the blue LED washer nozzles are a current fad amongst the Max Flower crowd. I just think they look daft. I also wonder how on earth some of these cars get through an MOT - ok, I have "ice white"-type bulbs in my headlights but they're fully certified and have passed two MOTs since fitting. I can't believe they really swap back to legal plates, bulbs, etc when MOT time comes?
The only blue lights that will make me move over are the flashing sort.

Yup, i got done for that about a month ago.
The law states that the numberplate must be at the very front of the vehicle and not displaying it like that is breaking the law. Its even against the law to have them on the roof rack as well :(

I wonder what they'll make of mine now with one on the rack and one on the bumper....

Actualy the law states that it should be at the front of the vehicle not at the very front. It should be legable at 20 meters from someone standing in front (or rear for the rear number plate) of the vehicle and close to vertical as is reasonably practial.
There is no mention of hight (that I can find).
