Post by: wayders on 01 March 2009, 12:35
Hey peeps just thought i'd let you in on this one, I know like myself lots of you out there are/were using German plates and thinking f**k it i'll take the chance, well i've now been nicked for the second time, first time ticket outside my house overnight whilst i was inside, and second time pulled up by the filth, both times £30! since getting done the second time i've recieved a warning letter from DVLA stating that if i'm nicked again my car's automaticaly wiped off the system and iv'e been told the cost of re-registering is £300/£400!! so folks kind word of advice.............. is it really worth it??  :sick: :sick:

Well my plates aren't the German layout, but the font isn't standard, but it's the D euro flag that the police picked up on, since then I've stuck some gaff tape over that until I get my new plates.

Anyone looking for pressed UK plates there's a group buy going on, you might just have enough time to get in on it.

I was fined twice for my German plates so took them off.

Post by: Shady Pioneer on 01 March 2009, 17:35
I was pulled for my German plates, police let me off so long as I got them changed to UK plates, I did, didn't want the fine. However the new UK pressed plates are ideal for anyone who wants to have the look of a german plate but still be within the law. As mentioned, the group buy is still on, until tomorrow when I finalize it, get in there whilst you can :)

I don't know, you might be able to get them to put it on if you ring them up? It's a small thing but sets the car off better than the acrylic ones.

what new regs would that be??? the pressed ones are uk font,correct size characters, correct spacing, reflective, and more importantly have the bsau145d mark on them making them perfectly legal for uk even if r plod doesnt think they are  :rolleyes:

Have been reading reports in the magazines that the mot's will be changing to include a number plate test which includes type face and reflective qualitys and also that they are fixed to the car in the correct place, going to coming into force June / July.

Well the placement of the plate is responsibility of the owner, but the actually spacing, type face and reflective qualities are all legal with these bad boys. :) as hobbiniho said, it's got the BS number on, that's the proof of the pudding :)

yeah i learned about the bs number when i was stopped in my mums car which is an import and the copper said that the plater were illegal because the characters were too small i showed him the bs number and made him look like a knob he still argued and i said that i wasnt going to pay the fixed penalty notice and that i would take it to court, needless to say he didnt give me one  :rolleyes:

The simple answer is, keep it legal! Not difficult is it? Fit the correct number plates and you will not be bothered by the Police. It's that simple. If you want German plates, go live in Germany!

DAMN, just got given a producer haha, my plates got them off the saviour "the plateman", problem is mine couldnt be more illegal if i tried, D mark, the font and i even had the stadt on it haha. In al fairness tho he said that he didnt want to because he thought the car looked good and looked after but he allready buzzed in on the plate   :sad:

Not all police are coonts, usually the older coppers are awesome.

indeed. TBH, its a stupid fashion and i dont see the point of risking £30 and points and getting car unregistered just becuase you think german plates look cool. Stick to Standard UK plates or the most UK font and sized numbers and letters on pressed metal plates, even then id say stick to standard acrylic plates, its not THAT much of an improvement tbh....

It has helped with the fact fines were coming in thick and fast for most people, and it's just not worth it, if like me you still want the pressed plate look there are facilities that legally do it :)


As for HIDs, I was going to get them for my Hella Twins but thinking about it, they probably will whack a massive fine on if you're caught with them in the wrong car, and again, don't think I wanna be the first person coming onto the site saying:


"£75 for being caught with my HIDs on, this is bullcrap, where's the justice??!?!!!"



So instead I'll just get some better bulbs, legal and no fines :)

Different writing apparently doesn't get recognised by the [poorly written] ANPR software (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) meaning they can't issue any money making fines. Obviously they don't want to issue fines to foreign drivers :rolleyes:

And the choice to run different number plates wasn't made by me, but the previous numpty owner.

That is and always has been the issue, if you pass an ANPR camera and it cannot read your reg they will pull you over it was why I got stopped and fined twice.

(http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee237/markmason36/22092007016.jpg)

so... not only did you have non-UK font, but you also had a dash inserted and also a 'D' Euro flag... and you didn't expect to get pulled up for it??

not only that... after you were done for it the first time... you kept it on!

genius. absolute genuis.

Had a few beers 2nite & my mate dropped me home in his corrado with German plates
Just called and said hes been pulled because of the german plates.

The copper said they have been told by DVLA to crack down on it!

Silly pr!cks gave him a warning but forgot to breathe test him  :laugh:

some people your quad lights are poo  :tongue: some people like germna plates  :cool:

yeh but are quad lights illegal?? german plates are unless the car is actually still registered in germany :rolleyes:

not when running dodgy HIDs,  :tongue:

and not if not declared to insurance companies  :wink:

My lights are declared and my HID's aren't dodgy/illegal, as a matter of fact I've spent the last two nights in cop land (Ipswich) and haven't had any trouble whatsoever.

Well I spent a month  with German Style font, pressed plates, with the Euro D logo and Stadt stickers in the middle - since Santa Pod RWYB day on Feb 1st - in Ipswich and got pulled near Blockbusters on Felixstowe Road.  The cop was livid as he thought I was trying to do a runner  :rolleyes:  He said I was driving dangerously - I was doing 30mph in a 30 zone and pointed this out to him and he told me to shut up otherwise he'd do me for dangerous driving, illegal plates and anything else he could think of...  :shocked:  He calmed down after a couple of minutes of reading the riot act, told me he was a VIP Police driver who drove the Royals around when they were in Suffolk and turned out he was a VW enthusiast (Beetles) too... I very reluctantly removed the plates when I got home...  :cry:

"£75 for being caught with my HIDs on, this is bullcrap, where's the justice??!?!!!"



So instead I'll just get some better bulbs, legal and no fines :)

mind that hids are potentially dangerous whereas metal plates with different writing are not (unless you count scratching pedestrians, but then that would be the least of their worries)

Exactly.  :smiley:  The light generated by a HID capsule is identical to the blinding light developed from an arc welder - and there are some fairly strict regs on that.  :nerd:

And at the end of the day - if some stoooopid pedestrian chooses to walk out infront of a car, then they deserve far more than a few scratches from a number plate.  :angry:

who cares?

judging by the rather wound-up sounding reply, you.


no...seriously i dont care, if i did i wouldnt run hids which piss people off like yourself, who obviously have nothing better to moan about..

But incorrectly fitted HIDs (so that covers ALL retro fit kits) can actually burn the surface of the retina.  They really are dangerous when used incorrectly.

NO NO NO NO.

Kells HIDs are just fine.  He says so, so it must be true. DO NOT QUESTION HIM!

Far more dangerous is the blinding light he shines from his ass.  Thankfully it's a light only he can see, so only he is blinded by it. 

Also, as he's obsessed by men's arses and only surrounded by stunningly beautiful women of the type we will never be able to pull he's forced to look at his own ass to satisfy himself, which is how he keeps being blinded by the light that shines from his own ass, which can cause him to randomly spout utter rubbish.

As you were.....

That is epically funny, what's even better is how we've gone from German plates to you talking about Care Bears in you sleep, one for the nonsense section I think :P

I think this thread went off topic when all the b!tching started, plus a warning on German plates isn't exactley a "news flash" is it  -  Maybe if it was still 1985, or if you have just emerged from a cave?

Care Bear's FTW.
