15 miles

KTP · 01-09-2007, 01:31

...thats all i managed to cover before the local traffic cops decided to have a word with me about my number plates.

i haven't even sent off my last 21-day ticket for my first set of plates.

i did have my latest set of CZ plates on display in the window but as they are in the FE font are still illegal under UK standards so got issued a ticket to have them replaced.

15 miles that is a Classic

"What seems to be the problem Officer?" They are nice plates though!

**VRStu** · 01-09-2007, 07:40

Classic - I bet they've not seen anything like that before.

Love the look of your car, those plates are ace. I am sure the copper hadn't seen anything like that before.

Where do you get the big Skoda Auto sticker, looks ace!!

**mannyo** · 01-09-2007, 08:37

Just be carefull, as each plate offence is recorded on the PNC/DVLA computer. You could technically have the plate revoked and the car placed on a Q plate.

The mind boggles! Why spend your money on something you KNOW is illegal? You were lucky to get 15 miles!

Surely the fine is going to cost you

How much you going to charge me for one of those Skoda Auto stickers

Wet Kipper · 01-09-2007, 11:53

I've seen a gold Pug 306 around Edinburgh with plates where the letters are the same size as that, but without the barcodes.

i was very lucky, i had my other plates in the windows and argued they were still visible so what was the problem? but given my other set were still not UK spec plates i was given a ticket to have them changed, i was lucky i didn't get a fine, the police were very nice about the whole thing.

i would probably have to charge £12 for one of those, that would include postage.

Look Nice don't they

SILVERSAUSAGE · 01-09-2007, 19:09

dinny really see the point, but each to their own.

Dmac1969 · 01-09-2007, 19:39

If you scanned those plates with a barcode reader , would it 'read' as your actual registration?

It will when no one will buy you car, as they can't transfer ANY plate to it!

Once it's on a Q, you can only get Q plates for it. You'll have totally devalued your car, and effectively made it unsellable. No car dealer will accept it, and very few buyers will either.
