Fantastic day so me thinks blast over to walberswick, fantastic road from Diss re-surfaced in places!!
Nearly get to destination see Traffic Plod in his volvo going in oppositie direction, decides to do u turn catch me up pull me over to tell me about my undersized front number plate!!
So now its off to the MOT centre with a corect size plate so I can get my ticket stamped!!
The drive home made up for it though :D

Carry the correct sized plate in the boot.
IIRC (and hopefully a TrafPol will confirm) as long as you CAN put on the correct plates you are not committing an offence.....So keep them in the boot along with a screwdriver (that way you can have a nice drink whilst you change the plates

That has to be wrong.
Thats like saying its not illegal to be doing 130 on the motorway as you could have done 70 if you wanted to.
You might get away with having a full size plate in the boot if you dont have one at all on the front but if you get caught with a 3/4 size one on the car (as I have
) I think your done.Not having the correct size number plate is technically not having a number plate fitted at all!! And that is the offence you will get ticketed for.
I get this a lot with my bikes (not so far with the Liz), plod just love pulling me, undersize plate sir, ticket, get the "old plate" re-fitted, and repeat ad finitum.
However Plod are getting a little less tolerant each time though, need them revolving plates aka Bond on the DB5
