Post by: dan7 on 01 August 2005, 22:09: i recently bought a 91 oak green 8 valve off my mate who brought it back from guernsey where he worked for a year. even though i did register it in england i still kept the black and silver plates on it. that was about three months ago!! police have noticed them, but haven't pulled me over! are these okay to leave on as the car was registered in guernsey? i'll keep 'em on til i get told/ordered otherwise!! what do you guys reckon??! :grin:

Title: Re: old school black and silver number plates
Post by: [han] on 11 August 2005, 14:18: thats crAp! we got pulled on way back in the coupra and we just had tiny plates on from show - changed them there and then and blagged the fine!
Title: Re: old school black and silver number plates
Post by: Fielder5757 on 11 August 2005, 14:32: Ive been pulled over plates many a time (didnt have a front numberplate for a few months)

You get a Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£30 fine per plate thats incorrect, However if you have two incorrect plates its a repeat offence and can land you in court :huh: The police never really bother tho, Ive been fined before but only because i was at a cruise so it was my fault for putting my self in risk anyway.
