Default parking cars on trade plates

certain emergency situations

I wouldnt tbh. Anyone can smash the window and pinch them.

I thoughy trade plates were only for 3rd party insurance.

Trade plates are just a big tax disc that's all

Yep, trade plates only cover the tax aspect.

Really depends how and where you're parking and for how long.

Outside your workshop or business for a short period, doubt there'd ever be a problem. If it'd out there for days or weeks...bound to be a problem. If it's nowhere near a motor trade business....bound to be a problem.

And then of course there is the other nonsense that if it's anywhere the RTA applies it will need insurance etc

When I've used them I was told they only cover what's between the front and rear plate so must be displayed on the bumpers, not in windscreens.

Strange wording, but of course they must be displayed correctly and also the normal plate must not be visible.
