[andrewrobert87]

short and sweet, driving misses home on saturday morning, blue lights in rear view, pulled over and at this point I thought i might still have some drink in my system from the friday before (rugby was on) but he pulled me for my 3 1/4 plate on the front (which has passed TWO MoT's btw!) and he made me feel like a right crim! lol

anyone else been pulled for theres in such an agressive manner? also I was fine to drive which was the best thing, i almost dropped a bo****ck when he pulled the breath tester out :dead:

 

[Earpl]

Good....

We had the police just give the boyf a word about his in town the other night - they only noticed as we were stopped at lights and they were walking by.

It's not 3/4 though, centimetre or so off the overall height of the plate with like a 5% reduction or something in the lettering.

Illegal then?

What do you expect :S

3 1/4 is far far too big for a numberplate :nono:

Congratulations on making me laugh for the first time this week. You get a gold star.

Why were you driving then?

 

[Munson]

325% number plates FTW.

 

[jacko198]

The internet police are out in force on this one!
Havent been stopped for my plate yet but i am sure i will sometime.

PMSL @ that offset at the back. Can you get spacers, Gally?

200mm should do it!

 

[Will.]

gally you ASW.

I got pulled for mine. I then got a fine. I then got a fine for my tints being 7% over the 30% legal limit. That was a s**t day.

The press cars came with 30mm spacer iirc.

I'm going to do them whilst the suspension is getting fitted looks pants side on. You've finally worn me down!

I thought it was jacked up in the pic ready for new suspension.

You're going to change something on the bestest handling car evaaaaaaa? I am surprise.

 

[Gally]

I hate the meanies!

Also the rear spacers will only increase the offset by 10mm

 

[Munson]

Spacers are for tools who think they know better than professional automative chassis engineers. Don't do it.

 

[andrewrobert87]

Why were you driving then?

I felt fine to drive but i hadnt had a shower and my hair was a mess, chucked a hoody on so i looked drunk lol had a head ache and when he stopped me i just instantly thought im over the limit even though i felt fine

Pmsl! I love when you come along with reason.

All these threads about dodgy numberplates...

I don't get it!

They look wrong anyway - and to be fair if you have to risk the wrath of the police everytime you drive anywhere with a mod that genuinely no-one ever notices and/or cares about theres something wrong!


I have never driven past a car and though 'nice illegal plate' never! it's one of those things only the owner notices!

I like mine. It suits the car due to the width of it.

I couldn't give a flying monkeys whether other people like it.

 

[Daz.]

But do you like it enough to drive it around everywhere keeping an eye out for the local plitzbobs?

I'm genuinely interested, it might be me but none of my other car enthusiast mates could give a toss if the number plate looks better with 2cm lopped off it.

The only other people that need to get along with your motor are thes that cartry a badge, driving cars with flashing lights on the roof.

 

[Gally]

You guys must stay in baghdad.

I don't drive around worrying about police, if I see a police car they are usually going the other way and wouldn't even notice my plate.

I actually *touch wood* have never even had it mentioned to me by a police man.

 

[andrewrobert87]

just for info, my plate passed its last two MOT's with different garages, so in there eyes it was legal enough to pass it. Sometimes the police see a young guy in a fast(ish) car and 'assume' there must be somthing up - ie tyres, tax, insurance etc.

 

[Munson]

In this case they assumed right though didn't they? Illegal plate?

Got pulled over once when I first got the car, it had front and rear tints (now removed) thankfully my other half was driving as I had been out on a mates birthday and couldn't
Drive. I say thankfully because the police officer
Actually said to her that and I quote "as your heavily pregnant I'm only going to give you a £30 fine, if it was your other half it would of been £60 and 3 points" I was a bit angry made a complaint gf sill got the fine though, tints came off the next day lol
