3/4 Plate Guide ^ - Does anyone use them on the road?

[SaMk2]

I'm trying to gather some sort of idea, on the 3/4 plates that people tend to use for shows ;

1 ) Does anyone use them on the road?

2) Have they been pulled for them?

Yes, I am aware that they are illegal.

Thanks!

I use them on the road, never had a problem... had illegal plates on almost all my cars lol (mainly pressed plates in euro font before) and never had a single issue (probably get done now I've said that)

 

[-J-]

1. Yes
2. No (They have not event been mentioned when I have been stopped for other reasons)

Well I have my number plate in my windscreen cos the 3/4 sized ones I bought fell off so got my stock one in the windscreen, and still aint had a problem lol

 

[182_Adam]

Is there anywhere in the world, that makes 3/4 pressed plates? (sorry for the hijack)

 

[r900smp]

Never had a problem with mine! Been pulled twice since its been on but has never been mentioned!

 

[Laine_16v]

Havent had an issue with mine either

Put it back on the car properly, and stop looking like a tit.

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol, gotta love peoples responses, but yeah pretty much what he said

 

[SaMk2]

Well this has been somewhat unanimous. Look's like I'll be getting 3/4's and keep my proper sized ones in the boot, just in case. Thanks everyone.

I've not had an issue in the 9 months I've had mine. Even when I've been pulled once too.

I wouldn't keep your standard one in the boot. Sort of gives away you know the front one is illegal so you wouldn't be able to plead ignorance.
They would probably also quiz you as to why you had it in your boot.

 

[Gally]

Leave it under the carpet mate. I've always done it. More so incase one fell off or something. Not doing any harm hidden away.

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol that sounds like a comment Munson would make

 

[Gally]

Huh? It started of by accident as I was at work putting new plates on as I always do with a new car and I fired the old ones in the boot.

I hate anything in the boot or sliding around so I popped them under the boot carpet.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I've not had any issues with mine so far and my new base is shared with a load of rat traffic officers.

What's the worst that can happen? 30 sterlings fine. Not the end of the world is it.

 

[Adam.]

Not illegal unless you get caught IIRC.

 

[LaurenTayla33]

You'd get more problems with pressed plates than 3/4, and even if they're stupidly illegal or missing on the front of your car you probably still wont get pulled because if you have a cop sat up your arse hes not gonna see the front, and if they're coming the other way they're not exactly gonna spin round and pull you just for a plate.. just dont sit in car parks where they can come in and sniff around, i got pulled for french plates as he greeted me with "bonjour madame" -_-

Just do it and keep spares in the boot

 

[Kyle 86]

Ive not been pulled just yet

 

[DanEdser]

If you get pulled, just say you've been to a show/meet off road and you forgot to take em off... keep standard one in the boot

 

[Lal B3N]

Had mine on 6 month, had no trouble at all.

Live 3 doors down from a traffic cop and he has never bothered me about it yet.

Although I carry my front original in the boot just incase. The 1 time I ever get stopped for it, then its coming off for good as not worth the trouble after the 1st time.

 

[davo172]

Had mine years never had a problem yet ( touch wood ! )

 

[Hixle]

I had mine on for two years with no issue.

Thats why I keep mine in the boot, under the carpet like mentioned before, stops it sliding around.
Although I have had it on 2 years now and never had a problem
