In that article it says he had the plates changed and took the docs to a local police station...

He said: “I changed the plates after being told to do so and fitted them myself. They cost £16 and then I got a stamped note from a garage confirming they were legal. This cost another £4.

“I left it at the police station when I produced my insurance, MoT and driving licence within the required 14 day period. I assumed that was the end of the matter but more than four months later I was summonsed.


According to that the police had the proof he'd had the correction done...why were they having a 2nd trial?

I would agree, why people feel the need to **** around and modify number plates is beyond me.

if he did take the docs to the cops he should have a receipt to show he got his docs checked in time...doesn't appear to be any proof except his word.

To be fair though what difference does it make whether the plate has a European logo or a Scooby Doo next to it?

This is one aspect of plates that I do not undertsand.

A fair point I agree, but none the less people seem insistant on ******* around with number plates when they know not too.

Hmm, not too sure if it take it off of wait for a 'warning'. Been pulled over before with about 20 cops around who closed a road to stop every one and see that everything was in order.

Had no problem then..

Yup, AFAIK it actually is illegal, your plate should also show the name of the company who made the plate for you on the bottom side of it as well.

Broke two on a TD04 so I'm keeping my 18g to keep my P1 box whole before I swap out for a 2.5 6 speed and GT30R

I was short of funds so stuck another 5 speed in very reluctantly (driving very calmly now).

Saving up for a 6 speed, have a 20G for now not going to change anything else until my gearbox is in place

So you opted for the 2.5 huh ?

sorry explanation on my part, no I have (well in pieces ), a 2.35 but only have a P1 box in the car at present so I'll be running an 18g until I stick a 6 speed in from a 2.5 (longer rations), then I can slap a GT30R on it
