what do you get if?
« on: 27 August 2004, 10:21 »
OK I was going to risk driving around on my German plates as we have with the mk1 for a few months now and not been pulled up yet.

I always thought that if you did get stopped for it the max was a ?30 fine and maybe a producer, ut the otherday someone said you can get points for it, is this true?

Of course will have the uk plates in the car and the "oh I forgot to change them over" will be said when it happens

Adam got a ?30 fine for his plates (I think, no doubt he'll tell me if I'm wrong) but nothing else.

We had the german plates on mk2 been on for nearly a year and not been stopped either!!

what really annoys me is that twits in their jags and range rovers with there poxy initials for the reg constantly get away with illegal spacing, but when we try it we're given producers and fines  >:(

i thoughts points were given for dangerous activities, like speeding, drink driving parking on zigzags (can never remember there right name) and stuff.  ::)

Ive never heard of anyone getting points for number plates.  I dont think there would be so many german plates on the dub scene if that was true.  who would take a risk like that  :o

go on, get em on there  ;) 8)

Son-in-Law has a plate B111 YVW - his name is Billy.

If he spaces it to form BillY VW he gets stopped. He was told that if he gets stopped for that reason again he with get a fine and 3 points.
