Supercar immunity to front plates ( again )

[SodiumThiopental]

Hampshire and Isle of Wight police “re educating” people about regs regarding front plates, on their “supercars”.


Looks ugly, yeah, do as you are told or risk the consequences, also yeah.

Unfortunately many people who own supercars (and the sycophants who are so keen to nosh off people who own supercars) do very little to dispell the impression that only total s own supercars or want to lick the scrotum of anyone who does, which must be quite annoying for the 1% of supercar owners or enthusiasts who aren't, in fact, total s.

All of whom are on PH, I am sure

The highways wombles should pull these people over, get a cordless drill, a plate and some self-tappers out of the van....

What an absolute bell: "Show me where u put a plate on those cars"

Can he not engage all of the half-a-dozen brain cells he possesses to conclude that there was clearly somewhere to put the plates when the cars were type-approved for the UK?

The problem is though that the punishment for running without one is fairly trivial.
If I didn't want a front plate, a possible £100 fine wouldn't make any difference to my decision.
Potential 3 points would.

I’ve often wondered what happens if someone runs ULEZ / speed / whatever cams without a front plate.

Not sure if the case now, but LEZ cameras would only pick up front number plates, and the amount of old vans running around here with the plate in the window, obscured of course, would suggest it is still the case.

Needs 3 points for no front plate. Fine is no deterrent.

I really don’t think this will ever be an issue for Bryan Moore.

Funny how they'd find a place to put it when it comes up for it's MOT.

Strange that the only type of people who don’t do front number plates have super cars or some st box VAG car with blacked out windows

they are all rear plate facing since bikes only have a rear plate

not having a front plate or having one thats fitment is not fully compliant doesnt bother me in the slightest, just as long as they dont have it stuck on the tooking dash ....

Both the two cars shown look much happier with a front plate it’s as if they are smiling. I’ve even seen a turkey toothed roiled chav without any plates on his S4. I pointed out his plates were missing thinking they were stolen and he told me that as the government don’t look after people why should he conform with rules. He was parked on double yellow lines outside the post office and trying to tax a V8 Defender using a picture of a document on his phone. He tried to bully the Postmistress but fair play she told him to go away.

What does “them” mean you seem very odd?
