Which will not stop them doing it, so it's a complete and utter waste of time. Most motoring laws are not to prevent such things, nor are they to improve road safety. But a LOT of them are to rake in fine money.
Although drink driving laws as they stand are also a crock of shit, probably created by a room full of drunks !


You should be sorry for such an attitude. If you think this sort of thing by a cop is acceptable, then you need your head examined. The police are supposed to be there to catch criminals. No matter what way they try and twist it for the simple minded, a non standard font plate is not a crime. Such a plate has never hurt anyone, nor killed anyone. So really, a cop going out of his way to issue a fine for it is nothing other than a ballbag, plain and simple. Especially when the OP has documents and proof stating he is getting it changed anyway.
If that's the most productive thing he can find to do in a day, then clearly there is no need for him to have that job and should be sacked immediately.

The UK is completely and utterly fucked up. They happily fine or even jail people for doing sweet FA wrong, then they create a haven were scumbag terrorists thrive with no fear of the law whatsoever. In fact, they probably give a lot of them free houses and spending money as well !
Probably because all the cops are wasting our hard earned taxes giving people tickets for nonsense things, instead of doing their job and catching and prosecuting real criminals !
