quattroboy Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 So, after 20 months of sporting German style number plates a friend of mine has just been busted by the police and told he has 7 days to get some legal plates on the car. Having checked the specification with the DVLA the characters are only a couple of millimeters out from their recommendations. The plate is perfectly legible so do you think he should leave it until he gets stopped again and then take issue over their legality? Also, as it was only a verbal request with no paperwork issued does that still constitute a formal warning and if the plates are still on in a fortnight's time would he still be able to prosecute without written proof that the driver had already been warned?

shao_khan Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I was told that its not 'formal' as such, but they will make a note and make a point of checking the car - still got same plates then they'll just give you the fine, producer and points. Then begs the question - is a german style plate really worth that much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
