Number Plates New Legislation

[viper paul]

As some of you know I was a part time boy in blue and I still keep in touch with my old officers.

The other day I was talking to one and he told me that there is new legislation regarding number plates, missing or incorrect number plates ie spacing or distorted characters will now warrant three points on your license and a higher fine of £60.00.

And the worst part is they will probably be issued by computer using the ANPR system which if it can read your plate and work out the number can just send you a nip in the post.

So watch it, guess the 52 car will get a proper set of plates.

If you continue to offend you can loose your plates as well..

So I guess it,s better to have NO plate on the front of the Viper than a stuck on job that fits on my white nose strip? Thinking without a plate a forward facing scamra won,t know who I am!
Talking of which,a very good "friend of mine" had the pleasure last summer blasting past a hidden motorway mobile scamara, a toot,wave, followed by a HARD burst of speed ended up with NO fine......suckers! Just need to look out for rear facing scamras though

and a maximum £1000 fine for the re-offender (well it was a couple of years ago)

It,s in the boot!...my line goes "sorry officer, it came unstuck, fell of and is in the boot"... Spoil the lines of a Viper! no chance.

if you were about driving everyday eventually you'd get nabbed, though since for most the viper is a weekend/fine weather car, I guess the chance of not getting caught rises quite a bit

If I go to Le-Mans it will go on the dash, the french cops seem fine with that.....I remember a year when having nothing on the Viper had me in trouble...Nad/Joel have the pics!

Is it true ? Always said the number plate cover would come off of the tranny once "points" were involved (gulp)
