Put legal plates on or get it off the road

It's not you that gets the fine is it, so why be so harsh?

Not getting any, that'll be why

Didn't get pulled but came close many times last night

The Corsa will be taken off the road anyways if everything gets sorted with my Astra on tue.

I've had these plates on for almost a year now. I just find it funny how i on taking it off the road last month but couldn't get my Astra fixed so it's taken a little longer. Now i get this with a matter of days left for the Corsa. Ah well, shit happends.

Seen smaller. Mine use to fit between the holes for the standard plate

It was just a replica of my standard plate just smaller (standard font and everything). I had to do that MOT thing....

Id leave it on tbh. one of the boys i know drives his stage 2 rs turbo round with black and silver plates everywhere for the last year and hes been pulled numerous times with them.hes been fined twice.had a rectification notice although straight after having it stamped chucked the black plates back on. never heard of anyone having a grand fine and reporting you to the dvla is bollox.dvla dont do nothing about it hes been reported to them twice.

As for Baldygl i think your a cock.if theres one thing i hate in life is a grass i hope ne day you grass the wrong person up and they find out

Have you ever heard the phrase ''what comes around goes around''?.

because when it comes back round to you, you really WILL know about it.

I got done for mine as well.

Got my plate which is R100 HEE and cleverly placed two numberplate bolts and covers to make one of the 0's look like a C.... and they did me for an illegal character or some shit.

They took photos which they said would be sent to the DVLA and if I was caught again they would take the plate off me and give me a bigger fine.

Is it really that 'un-cool' to have a proper sized number plate and not draw attention to yourself like some chavtastic cock?

The letters and the plate have to be a certain size so is it any suprise you got fined?

its only a damn numberplate just keep it standard and you wont get into shit there cracking down on this becuase if you were involved in an accident and drove off someone may struggle to see your numberplate tbh there that size for a reason

How about considering baldyGL's profession and then question why he'd contact the DVLA and why he's added "Put legal plates on or get it off the road" .....

I don't see the problem with having a small front plate, bikes don't even have front plates at all, so why the hell should cars have to have them

do you see a problem with having normal sized plates then?

a lot of policing devices these days on the roads rely on number plate recognition

If the police need the front number plate to be able to carry out their work, then bikes should have them also.

so that makes it alright for cars, that are legally required to have them, to abuse the system?

That's a good point. Anyone know why bikes are exempt from front number plate law?

Excuse me if im being unclear here, but i really cant see the issue with having normal sized plates.

does it earn you extra flange down at mcdonalds having these smaller plates?

whats the advantage?
