Should have, was half asleep
Nope, no fine just gave me a slip to take to an MOT centre to stamp once i'd put the standard plates back on. But apparently its been logged so cant stick them back on or i'll get a fine next time
Sleeping whilst driving that beast which you have? Tut Tut!!Nope, no fine just gave me a slip to take to an MOT centre to stamp once i'd put the standard plates back on. But apparently its been logged so cant stick them back on or i'll get a fine next time
You should be enjoying every second of it!
I did get a fine around 3/4 mnths ago but since then I've been seen by loads of coppers and not one bit of bofer
I love my black plates I'm trying to keep them until I drive to europe....
Plus I'm way to fast for the coppers anyway....
The last time i thought that 'faster than those...' i got done lol
Im off to south france in few weeks hopefully just to get away for week. Where you off to?
Yer well i managed driving round every day for last 2 weeks with the black plates but knew id get pulled sooner or later. Think i might just stick them on when i get there

just a quick note about illegal plates.
when we went on the FB5K trip to europe, all the cars with illegal plates were pulled over at Folkestone.
however i was aware that was likely and simply blu tac'd the legal ones on top. removed them once i was on the train (didnt realise the others would have similar plates too!)
worth doing to avert unnecessary hassle

I am a bit partial to black plates also. What I've done in the past is to velcro the plates on and have a spare set in the boot. That way if I need to do something respectable (or if I'd rather not any unwanted attention from the BiB), it only takes a few seconds to switch them.
Did it when I took the Phaeton to the Ring, switched them at customs and back again as soon as we got on the train.

I though black plates are now a straight mot failure, and hence voids your insurance. Harsh, clearly, but knowing insurance companies they'll use any excuse.
I would guess they are, I'm sure you would have to be inventive if you were ever faced with that problem.???Ultra Violent said:

Doesn't the car have to fail an MOT though? Isn't an MOT certificate valid until you have to have another one issued (either annually or at the behest of the BiB/VOSA etc).Miyagi said:
