Reg Plates

[telecat]

So is it 3 points and £30 fine for illegal plates????

No points mentioned in my notes Telecat yet - understand they are aware and looking at imposing.

Reg 5 (rear) Reg 6 (front) R.V (Display of Registration Marks) Regs 2001 imposes the requirement to have and Section 59 VERA 1994 imposes a fine of £1000 if breached. A FPN comes out cheaper as you state.

Its only £30 non-endorsable ticket for plates not in accordance with regulations. Those regulations can be found at..... www.dvla.gov.uk/vehicles/regmarks/reg_marks_current_requirements.htm#mandatorycharacterfont

what about the MOT thing - I.E not allowing a vehicle to continue and withdrawing the cars MOT until it has a new MOT with legal plate ??

It's non-safety-related construction and use and this unlikely to ever attract points.
With the current number plate legislation it's difficult to get new plates if you are on holiday and one gets broken, so the old bill will tend to be understanding about this.

Many Thanks All, the query came up on another forum and I couldn't remember the current standing.

.......and not fogetting if stopped and on interview a nefaraious reason for displaying i.e. to fool the authorities from doing something they would have done, come to light, then offence of fraudulent use of a Registration Mark contrary to Section 44 VERA 1994 disclosed?

A gentle fine of the max £5,000 and or/on indictment 2 years imp.
