Indeed. So is doing 31mph. Law is absolute in these matters...

Yes, we all break the speed limit occasionally, if not intentionally. I did it yesterday to overtake a gaggle of cyclists safely. It is not my default position.

Chav-plating is a premeditated and permanent choice. That, I would argue, is the difference.

Well you'd be wrong as presumably you choose to depress the accelerator before the car accelerates.

I think, like avthingy you are just guilty of thinking what you do is OK whereas what someone else does isn't!

Would you have the same relaxed attitude to a criminal who broke into your house to rob you of all your money and wordly possessions? What was the intention of the criminal other than to illegally break in and rob you?

You're right, I wouldn't be relaxed about being burgled. But I would not think the burglar's sole objective was breaking the law. His primary objective was being better off when he'd finished the burglary than he was before he started.

The number plate corrupter's primary objective is his plate, not law breaking.

Try to find a sense of proportion in your arguments.

narcissism

excessive interest in or admiration of oneself and one's physical appearance.

Again surely this applies to a hell of a lot, if not most private plate owners.

Undoubtedly it does.

But narcissism on its own is not (yet) a criminal offence. :

But narcissism together with other factors such a desire for fakery, self importance and a disregard for the law is generally fuelling the rise in illegal Chavplating and butchering of plates.

Behave yourself, if it's tasteless it's tasteless, it really makes no difference if it's lawful, it's still distasteful. There's a lot of "realgoodplaters" on here trying to convince themselves they're not narcissistic and chavvy, when in reality, they're just chavs with money

Even some of the obscured ones make them more memorable

Another old chestnut I fear.

A minority of butchered plates may be more memorable.

But not plates that have been deliberately butchered such that the 'crucial witness' cannot satisfactorily identify the true plate.

Will a crucial witness be able to identify SO10MON?

I thought so, will you now shut up?

Straw-clutching does not suit you!

The number plate corrupter's

Loving the new soft touch terminology.

Although I prefer illegal Chavplater.

Presumably then, a criminal scrote who broke into your house, robbed and raped both you and your wife is a 'house corrupter.'

Comparing rape with a badly spaced numberplate.

You need help.

Nah, don't play that card. You do have an unnatural obsession with number plates, and really do believe it's a serious crime

I'll agree with the first reply, and say that the plate shouldn't pass an MoT test - though that seems ages ago, now

Yes we're has DSLliverpool gone..? He must be laughing like mad with David Cameron... look what we've done now...

Still waiting on AV185`s custard.

But you do agree that "EACH AND EVERY Chavplaters sole intention" is not "to break the law and commit a criminal offence."

Their intention is to have a plate that amuses them.

Yes?

I don't know who Ken and 1965 are but they are both serious contenders for the 2019 PH bell-ends of the year award.

No, everybody definitely thinks that you are a bit of keyboard weirdo. What with you posting 53 of the current 388 posts, and all of them a waste of screen space.
