I'm not 100% but.

logic tells me that a foreign registered car does not come into british law. ( with regards to number plates).

If the car is legal say in poland/germany the police cant force them to change there plates, think of service personal and lorry drivers.



But a UK Car that is under UK Car laws, MOT ETC, has to abide by the law.

Just a thought,

Well from Joe getting a set of German metal 'showplates', we have progressed to a general rant and rave about the effectiveness of motoring law enforcement, we seem to have some fairly polarised views.

Seems fairly straight set in 2 camps........those of us who like to have a little bit of indivduality in our lives and possessions,
and those of us who believe we should play it straight down the line and obey every rule the thought police come up with.



....Not quite so black & white - Quite a few of us love some individuality in our lives/possessions but also know how to achieve that AND stay within the law.

Anyway, it's the law makers you should be addressing and not the police men and women who simply have to apply the laws that they are given.

How did we get from German plates to motoring law enforcement? - Simple! German plates on vehicles registered in the UK aren't technically legal for road use. Now if you really want some digression, I'm da man!! Cop this......

Last time I got pulled for my plate I was amazed how many times the ANPR machine went off when sat in the police car on the motorway hard shoulder. I thought pulling me for a plate seemed a little harsh when there was probably cars driving past without any insurance or tax  :sad:

Thank you for bringing to my attention the latest standard of recruit into our wonderful law enforcement agency, to this end I have decided if they all look like that it worth getting nicked for, so I have completely removed the number plates, stuck on some slicks, cancelled the insurance, straight through pipe, non legal tints and spent the last 10 mins doughnutting in the town centre.....unfortunately the old woman with the disabled blue badge not positioned correctly on her windscreen was surrounded by a Tactical support team and they completely ignored me     :evil:
