Random question....Is It Illegal If I drive round with no front numberplate?
like this...ignore the head and sidelights lol.

 

Yes in a word.

 

yes.

 

what if its in the the dashboard...so its kind of visable? im meant to go central london this weekend shall i just not drive down because the police in central are right cunts

 

cant you temprarily stick it on using the double sided sticky pads from halfords just to be safe? i magine with the congestion charge and cameras etc you wont get far with no plate on show before the police stop you.

 

Dashboard is also illegal - it needs to be clearly displayed on the front of the car. Thats why all cars have them there, oddly enough......

 

well i was planning to go in the evening...out clubbing for a frends birthday..thers no congestion charge then...and i had bin driving like that for like a month and a half [before i blew my engine] .. police in my area didnt say fuck all?

 

same with tax plates must be displayed in a cretin way the law is clear on how to display size shape and font

but every fukker bends the rules

 

Mate, fact is you're heading for a tug. London coppers or not, you'll eventually get pulled and it'll be Ł60 and 3 points. That's the way it is, and driving an RS makes you twice a conspicuous.

 

Just asking to be pulled.

Steve.

 

yeh your right. im gna purchase myself some double sided sticky tape!

 

Justcable tie it on for now.

 

even better ..saves me going to halfords

 

Illegal def.

Since when has number plate offences been 3 points??? Ive only ever known Ł30 fines and those correction notice things.

 

unless you are in usa yes it is illegal

 

Double sided tape?

 

whatever the punishment is it cant be worth the sake of a few quid to stick the plate on.

 

Its ok for bikers to do it lol

 

nobody can catch the fckers thats why

 

 

ive done well over 15k miles in my works van with no front plate, and that includes over 4 trips to central london.

not had any probs whatso ever.

if they do stop you, say it fell off etc and they give your a 14 day ticked to get one fitted and get an mot stamp.

fit a small plate and get caught, you get a Ł30 fine.

 

Ł30 on the spot by police!
enzo owners dont run em,then again if you can afford to run an enzo whats Ł30,

 

why not just fix the fucker back on instead of bothering about how to dodge it? you could have done it in the time it took to do this thread.

 

Exactly my thoughts

 

The law is quite clear, it has to be displayed prominently on the front of the vehicle as upright as possible.
For anyone caught now 2 times(same car) with no plate or dodgy plate they remove the plate themselves, you them have to re register your car as reg is withdrawn, after you have collected the car from the pound after paying towing fee, as plod are not allowed to let you drive an unregistered car.
tabetha

 

because the bumper thats on it doesnt have anywhere for me to screw my numberplate in becuse the guy i got the bumper off in the first place just threw it in with the recaros that i brought off him but the numpty decided to cut a hole in the middle..and instead of paying Ł100 to get it sprayed black im getting a full 90 spec body kit and spoiler for Ł50 in black so i dont need to spray it at all ....better than the xr3i spoiler and cracked back bumper i got on the car at the mo

 

thats the law for dodgy plates,, you have just added on the " or not running a plate" on it for the scaremongering value mate

no plate is a 14 day wonder,, thats all it is as it could have fell off theres nothing else they will do you for, a 14 day wonder will need to be stamped by a MOT place though

btw ive yet to meet someone whos had there car plate taken off them for running dodgy plates,,,,, revoked the right to display a personal plate ive heard of though but not a general reg

ive had 2 14 day wonders before btw for no plate

 

double sided sticky pads are your friend. no holes needed.

 

tape/pads...same thing

 

100% yeas and u will get fucked if the stop u

 

with out a doubt if you are goin in to central london matey

 

The "number plate sticky pads" from Halfords work fine, ive used them to stick on a front plate before.
Followed the simple instructions and it never came off while i owned the car

 

i agree mine never come off when the bumper feel off and was run over LOL or at 170mph

so i think they should be ok on yours lol

 

I know of someone when the police pulled them over and peeled off the stick on plate (REAR plate as well!) they had saying it was illegal!

Then got pulled on the way home for no plate

I was in the car at the time adn thoguht it was funny.

 

no one read my post?

ive been into central london about 4 times with no front plate on my van

didnt get stopped, and the cops dont even notice it usually!

i got 2 14 day vehicle defect forms in my old 200sx for no front plate, but i only got oulled as it was showing no insurance both times even tho i was insured, in about 1 or 2 months

mot stamp and Ł5 later it was done

 

my mate got stoped in his sapph on sunday for no front plate .he was told by the police that they would be taking his details and would be passing them on to the camera units and if any car with no plates and matching that description have been flashed on cameras they would be looking in to it...
wether that was bullshit or not who knows
