About time - I hate shitty fonted number plates !

 

[del]

[Mike@Rentech]

I have no postcode on my plate, ile have to get the black marker pen out now!!!

 

[del]

ah yeah its been like that for a while cos i put new plates on my 182 an when i was buying them i asked do they have to put their company name an code on them cos i didnt want it an they said they have to by law! its only where they were made tho!

I went for the Halfrauds ones, it is all ghosted out nicely but still there.

 

[Day]

I'm screwed next year then as my plates came from Ireland lol

 

[Jen]

Mine are the original ones the car came with but don't have a postcode on :/

 

[Baldin0]

I made up some normal font plain plates, no postcode or gb flag, now if this will end up failing as I dont have a shitty postcode at the bottom then il just swap them round for mot time

 

[Christopher]

just passed through in time this year!

 

[Dyewitness]

indeed, you have to look hard for the markings on Halfords plates... look plain unless you're looking for the markings.

 

[Marky_]

But there's nothing preventing people from just switching to different plates for the mot.

 

[Day]

It's rather petty but at least is stops all the muppets.

Does this now mean the price tag of personalised plates will come down?

 

[Ads_172]

Another benefit to owning a Ph1... first used before 2001.

 

[Day]

I've just spent a small fortune putting fully legal plates back on my Mar 01 PH-1

 

[JPandDeb]

A friend of mine is a PC, and when they issue tickets for incorrect number plates, they also send a photo to the DVLA to ensure that the person does not simply pay the fine and then replace the old plate. I understand the DVLA check up and the fine from them is a lot more than £30

Its only so they can trace you now using the ANPR b****cks. They have sprung up everywhere in london.

 

[172blue]

Nice plates day to day, swap over at mot time.

All you need now is MOT testers that actually know what they are doing!

I was out with a VOSA guy the other day doing visits (for work) this is how it went:

Vosa: ok, so the car doors do not open do you continue the test?
Mechanic: all of them?
Vosa: no just the drivers door.(sarcasticaly)
Mechanic: Erm, yeah spose just climb over sorted.

Oh dear.

 

[edde]

Nope.

Each to there own though.
