Small Number Plate Fine
Discussion
I know a few people who have been given a £100 fine lately.
One lad in particular got a warning about 2 months ago, he didn't take the warning and just used the same plate. Maybe a month later he got stopped again and given a fine. Fair enough I suppose. He has put a std plate on now which looks bloody stupid and covers his exhaust. Which is why he left it as it was in the first place.
Anyway when he rang up to pay the fine he got told he doesn't have to pay.
So why not ? Copper messed up the paperwork or something ?

I was done for drinking in the street, on a cup final day of all days, a pint of strongbow in a plastic cup.
4 police pulled me aside, took them 20 minutes to write a £40 fine.
I went to pay it days later, "there has been a clerical error you don't need to pay this fine"
I imagine the same thing happened with your friend

A week after getting my R1 (complete with the world's smallest plate courtesy of the previous owner) I was pulled over in London and offered the £100 fine or 14 days to get the plate changed. Anyway, there were about a dozen bike trafpol doing spot checks that day by Hyde Park...apparently, every check they'd carried out that day could have resulted in some kind of fine or remedial action....although to be fair, that could be because they were only pulling over tts on R1s and mopeds
