what would happen if...
Discussion
my numberplate broke on a hump because the car is low, then i put the numberplate in the boot so that it would not become loose and fall off, then a scamera van pointed and shot me? would he still be able to get me for speeding then, assuming he is hiding in a van and cannot turn round to shoot the back plate? not that I'd do this to evade capture or anything.

I think I see what you're getting at... you'll prob get pulled by the old bill and fined (£60 ??)
I wouldnt want to be stopped by the same BiB twice!!
why should I get fined when it's only just broken and first thing in the morning I'm going to get a new one ?????I wouldnt want to be stopped by the same BiB twice!!
the reasons why you're driving without one is irrelevent, nobody forces you to go anywhere, you choose to drive places... and you choose to continue to drive without a number plate.

You do need a V5 to get a new plate made up. If your plate breaks and you drive home to get your docs and sort a new plate out its no worries. Its actually an offence to not carry all your docs about, but being as that's not practical due to car theft etc etc and all your docs going its dealt with by ways of a HORT1 (producer)...not that you have to produce your V5 within 7 days, its as soon as practicable as its not always easy to get hold of it if you have a company motor etc.
If I stopped you for not having a front plate I'd give you a VDRS to get it sorted. Put a new one on, get the form stamped by an MOT station and drop it into the police station....no points and no fine if its all done that way and doesn't make you feel like a crim for it.
You can of course opt not to go on a VDRS, but I cant see anyone wanting to have a FPN instead of that.

You do indeed need a V5 to get a new plate, either that or a retention certificate with a plate in your name.
I tend to be quite fair with things like this, catch you once and I’ll take your word for it but will report you incase my advice to get it sorted asap is ignored. A second time (and I will hang around the same area the same time next day or two) and you'll be summoned to court with the first offence included too, if it's within the statutory time limits for prosecution.
I prefer advice to VDRS or FPN’s and won’t mess about if ignored. It seems to work with the majority.

Previous reports that H4lf0rds insists on further identification such as a utility bill in your name with the address as that on the V5. At least one report that a store demanded a driving licence with all corresponding details too. Protestations that the law did not require these identifications, nor that the RK must also have utility bills addressed to them, nor was it the case that the RK must have a driving licence went unheeded (IIRC, there was a post on here 'yonks' ago, by someone trying to get a new front plate for a Range Rover and suffering from some or all of the above - StreakyA reminder:
