Missing number plate

[colonel c]

I've just noticed that my front number plate is missing. (probably fell off in a car wash )

Anyway what if any hoops will in need to jump through to buy a replacement. I seem to recall something about having to prove ownership of the car or whatever.

None at all.

I'd say it's more trouble than it's worth. If you get stopped you can pay 30 quid extra and get online to buy a plate for notmuch.

In the meantime you're less likely to get fleeced.

yeh AFAIK the big boy companies like halfrauds will want to see a V5 but take it to most backstreet places and i'm sure they wont ask for proof of ownership.

The front plate fell off my Navara after I indulged in a spot of impromptu brail-parking, and as an experiment I thought I'd leave it off and see how long it took for someone to send me STRAIGHT TO JAIL.

I drove past the Norfolk Police traffic HQ every day (near where I lived at the time) for about 2 months before I got bored of the experiment and put it back on again. Nobody gave a stuff it seemed.

If they're made without documentation then they'll be sold for show or off road use only

Be advised that it has been reported in this Forum that a certain company mentioned in this thread as insisted on proof that the purchaser is the RK and that the addresses on all documents submitted as proof of identity (vehicle and RK) agree - Streaky

An ANPR camera will just ignore it since it needs a registration number to read in the first place.

THe fancy plates are correct in every way except they don't state the BS number or the postcode of the manufacturer. You could if you wished put this in your text field at the bottom and it would then be fully legal

Is that why they all hang out outside of the van or is that for another reason?
