Advice Please - Fines for no number plates

[towman]

One of the best things about driving an artic is that the number plates on the trailers are removable. Me & my chums either swap plates or remove them altogether. This used to penalised by a small fine, but I have heard rumours that this has changed. Can any of the BiB give m the current ruling please. Thanks.

N.B. This does not mean that we thrash around disregarding every speed limit, it`s just that there are one or two illogical scameras which are a bit of a pain in the butt.
