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!

Then accept the consequences and don't b!tch about it afterwards like some people do.
