I would be very intrigued if everyone was as brave meeting face to face...
Not this again. This is the internet. A lot of people are much much more aggressive and nasty when driving a two tonne car than they would be if they were in the queue in the Post Office with me - so what?julian64 said:
While this subject is winding down, hopefully. Is there any truth to the rumour that GB is eventually going to adopt the EU numberplate scheme?
If you mean that b
ks that was in the Fail and some other papers a while back where they were terrified that vanity plates would be outlawed - no, not a chance.johnfm said:
This thread encapsulates the worst elements of PH pack mentality.
Sad really.
Do you think so? It seems to me simply that the vast vast majority of people agree that butchered number plates are incredibly naff, and that getting stopped for it, fined, stopped again, fined again, then, stopped and fined yet again, and incredibly, still driving around with it and getting stopped yet again and this time taken to court over it is something that requires a rare combination of arrogance and inability to think.Sad really.
And to then actually whine about being victimised is, well...
Not pack mentality at all, merely a very widely held view about the action taken and the kind of mentality you'd need to go through all of the above and still believe you were hard done by.

I wonder if B3LL 3ND is available for you to swap too ???
or TO 55 ERS
The owner has put his name "Lee" at the bottom of the plate. The first letter is "L" (presumably for his initial). He has mis-spaced the number to read something. I think that he hopes it reads something like "L Tobers", but it actually reads "Tosser" to most people. How appropriate.

911 LAW is available for £15k ... you could pay for it out of the money you save not getting fined ....
Yes. 3 guesses where that plate currently sits....tty old number plate appear "cool" and then coming on here whining about being tugged by your boyfriend copper for displaying said illegal plate?Really, and I mean really I'd like to know.
(or are you just a total t
t?) I wasn't asking what you paid for your vanity plate as I really couldn't care less. What I was asking (if you can read) was why if you can afford such plate did you waste so much of your time (and seemingly PH time) whining about a mis-spaced plate?
(and the use of the c word is really unnecessary)

I saw that plate many many moons ago. IIRC it was back in the early 70s on a Bentley or something similar.
At one time PEN 15 belonged to ex bike and truck racer Steve Parrish.
A mate had that plate on a 5.4 Ford Mustang convertible back in 72.At one time PEN 15 belonged to ex bike and truck racer Steve Parrish.
Drove it like he stole it, and smoked the tyres everywhere he went.

k the law I'll do whatever I like attitude of anybody choosing to display a numberplate illegally, and in doing so dropped himself in grief that would have been so simple to avoid .Thats the real problem here - not the plate itself, but the attitude of illegal platers who are publicly demonstrating they place more importance on their own vanity than the need to follow the requirements of the law.
OP: If you're still confused after your visit to Court why not pop into the remedial class at your local primary school to catch up on the basics? Any of the kids in there will be able to help you understand what letters and number are for, what the difference is between them and why you should never, ever mix them up to try to spell anything.

I think you WILL ONLY BE HAPPY, if you hear what you want TO HEAR. So:
The DVLA are in THE wrong and that POLICEMAN IS TOTALLY out of order and should NEVER have pulled YOU OVER FOR your illegal number plate. YOU PROBABLY have a good case FOR A complaint against EITHER OR BOTH, and I would imagine you will GET A SUBSTANTIAL amount of compo for your troubles WHICH WILL ENABLE you to buy the ORIGINAL law 5y.
