Is it true that...

Police can restrict the registration plate of your car in extreme circumstances and make you loose your private plate and reregister it, which will cost you a good few hundred pounds!!!!!!

They can take the plate and fine you 1000 quid if they're feeling particularly twisted. Depends how much you try and misrepresent it.

Think you would need to be caught alot of times for them to take it off you.

Up to you if its worth having it spaced and your prepaired for a couple more £30 fines

Is it true that...

They can retain your current license plate there and then,
so you cant drive it anywhere, then they can have it toed away to a compound so you would have to pay for the towing.
Theyre a bunch of arse, if they keep doing you for it, they can get arsey and pull out all the stops, those rules have been implemented in the last 7-8 months

(i have been told)

My dad got caught by a speed camera a couple of weeks ago, his private plate should have 6S at the end but he changed it to make it seem 66,the police jus sent him a letter to alter it, no fine.

dont c why ppl buy plates that mean fuck all and think they can re-arrange them to look different. asains do it alot near me.

but taking tracys for example

T29CY M looks ok

but T29 CYM just looks like any normal number. you obviosly bought it to change it. end of days its illegal .so face concequences

so




where did i say u was moaning?

u was obviously in your other post where u said bad luck comes in 3s. but re-arranging ur plate and getting caught i would not say is bad luck. as u give them a reason.

i know it looks better but if u do it and get caught then expect the worse

Wh is having it spaced like that bad? Its still the same letters is it not? is this just some anal retard with nothing better to do other than find a way to casue you hassle?

I wonder how many real crimes were comitted by real criminals whilst he was busy being a fuckwit.

i agree jambo , its a shit law but its when ppl start all this italic wrighting and moving diff letters together and stuff. mine was all normal clear letters but all spaced same , no double spacng in middle yet still got a £30 fine.

its easy for them to do .

police are a joke

i agree if they have those pykie fonts on em that may make it difficult to read, i can see the point, or if a plate is soooo tiny you have to squint.

But the letters just spaced differently? What a joke thats just being pedantic.
