I got tugged by the old bill last night and he said he pulled me over because my number plates are illegal.

When I asked why they were illegal, he said that the spacing is wrong and that if he sees me with the same plates on again, his words, 'I'll have you for them'!!! Tit! I just told him to nick me now as they are staying on as there's nothing wrong with them.

Now the spacing on my plates are exactly the same as my mates car and several others that I've seen so I really can't see the problem.

It wasn't a traffic officer that pulled me, just a regular one in an Astra so I think he was just bored and on a power trip!!

Anything wrong with these?:

 

Naff all wrong wi them Gaz mate

 

Exactly as I thought Kev!

Just the copper being a twat!!

 

What a prick of a cop. Who done the plates. ? Do they have the usual postcode and shit on them.

 

look fine.

14mm of background in from each side minimum and 33mm in the middle minimum. that's what I got told when pulled a couple years back

 

Was it mot'd with these plates.Should of asked him what was the letter of the law was regarding plates.Bet he didn't know.Look fine to me.

 

They don't have a postcode on them (ordered them off the net) and he did mention that but didn't seem too bothered about it, just kept wittering on about the spacing!

 

The spacing looks ok to me.

 

Sorted! Cheers mate!

No it wasn't MOT'd on this reg as the plate has only been on the car for about a month but even my mate who's an MOT tester said he wouldn't fail a car with a plate like that on!

I think he was just bored so thought he'd try and piss someone off - it worked!! Lol!

 

the spacing i would say is fine, but i'm sure they must display the postcode of the supplier on them, so he probably could have done you if he was wanting to

 

Needs to have the postcode bud, Spacing looks fine though.

Just to add why the gtr plate on the st?

If they are your initials then

a)ive made myself look like a pleb

b) you have awesome initials lol

 

I thought newer models had to show the bs number on them.I say bs as in bull shit.Is it bsi lol.

 

Check for the marking on the bottom right BS AU 145D then tell him to issue the ticket and he'll have to explain to the magistrate why he's such a donkey

 

Postcode requirement was dropped.

 

I've used number plates without the postcode for years now and they've never been mentioned when I've been tugged in the past but yes they are supposed to have the postcode on them.

He didn't seem that bothered about the lack of postcode tbh just the spacing.

 

I got the plate because when I'm in it, I pretend I'm driving a Skyline!

Nah I'm messing! They are indeed my initials!

I just need an R35 GTR to go with it!!

 

I don't think they do have those markings but tbh, I think it'd be a bit harsh if they done me for them!

 

just as well you were in the focus and not that cossie in your sig, the spacing and lettering on those plates is quite frankly shocking

 

Spacing is exactly the same as on one of my cars (letter, number, space, three letters) and is totally legal.
I thought postcode AND BS number was required on cars registered after a certain date and plates made after that date too, so they are probably not legal.
There is also a specific font, but that appears to be OK too.

Sound like he was just looking for an excuse to stop you.

I have 2 cars with registrations old enough to not need either BS or postcode, but the plates do anyway.

 

The see through one on the front is better!!

 

I think he was just trying to piss me off to be honest!

 

Nothing wrong with those plates: looks like the pig didn't know his plate legalities.

I know mine are 100% legal and are not much different from yours in spacings:



Mine have the BS AU 145D crap and postcode too for what it's worth.

Tell them to prosecute you and watch them make a tit of themselves in court.

 

I think if he actually thought he would get anywhere with nicking me for the plates, he would have done it there and then. He was probably bored and had nowt better to do!

 

Im dure thr plate needs to have thr name of yhe place suppling them at the bottom anyway still a tosser copper

 

no doubt you was pulled for being the shady character you are and fook all to do with car

 

Spacing is wrong mate, I got done for same thing guy was honest tho and said his machine could read the plate so he'd let me off your plate should read C4-- GTR instead it's -C4- GTR

Mines was mega wrong tho M66 6ENT Lolita even tried to space it M 66 6ENT lol

Should have post code and BS number too and if it's new a GB sticker

It always depends on the copper I've seen some terrible plates my boss just has NEA1 smack bang in the middle of a plate but as it's always on 70+ grand cars he never gets stopped lol

 

^^^^ this Gary!

 

Like I said, he wasn't bothered about that!!

 

You may be right there Steve!!

 

Not according to this site

http://www.plates4less.co.uk/number-...legalities.asp

 

Don't you start!!! Lol!

 

Don't think so, there has to be a minimum margin at the sides, no maximum.
If the machine reads a space there it's faulty. Not that the ANPR machine is definitive anyway.

 

Yup, nothing wrong at all with those! Get them cut down too like on the example above, as long as they have the reuired amount of spacing at each end and have all the BS shit on it, then it's still legal!

 

Font looks wrong to me?

 

Did they search the car for creme eggs ?

 

+1 there is no dealers postcode which makes them ilegal

 

That's the point tho if an ANPR can't read it how will the government make money off you so the police in ford that's and as Another nice little side like you get a nick and FINE if he dosent have some bull shit numbers on it aswell lol

 

*Enforce

 

Pretty sure when I checked that had been dropped and was no longer a requirement.

 

my reg plates were way off the spacing and i didnt get pulled for years - then eventually i did, several times in a as many weeks
