So arent pressed plates legal at all? Even if they are reflective and are in a UK font?

so has anyone actually done a bit of research into how many migrant workers and cars are copped by our camera;s and never have to pay up despite the fact that they are living in our country?  how many deaths are caused due to migrant workers?  and when talking about plates, i got copped for having a VW symbol instead of the GB one at the side...and before anyone says owt that was before the german pressed plates.

QUICK! FETCH THE DAILY MAIL!

If you are a permanent resident in any country you have to abide by the laws of that country.

You are perfectly at liberty to leave the UK and work in another country, should you wish.  Then you too can take advantage of the many things that another country will offer you, like flouting the local laws.

I've seen people in the UK (probably UK residents) driving around on German export plates that expired 18months ago.  I met a guy recently who drives on French plates in the UK and GB plates in France.  There are many imaginative ways of dodging the law.  If you're lacking the imagination or guile to execute on any of these then that's your problem and your problem alone.  Stop whining.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
