Not if you buy them off a Scottish registered seller on eBay.
No proof, no ID needed.

wonder how many people are running false plates in n. wales.
Surely none of them are :-?. You need to take ID for you & the car ..... buying them from Fancy plates etc etc wouldn't be the British thing to do!!

or just be a coppers son do 135mh on the motorway and get away with just a fine....
Must be a lucky court room. Same place as the copper 'honing his skills' at 165mph.

I will state that if I am overtaking speed limits are ignored during the overtake, and on open roads I drive within my limits, the cars limits, the visibilty limit and the roads natural limit. I hope that people do understand what this means, and that the last thing it means is flat out everywhere or driving at a constant 45mph.
Gatsos & cameras stuck out the back of a van (or bounced off rear view mirrors) don't take account of common sense.

While we're talking about not exeeding the limit, why don't people actually travel at something like the limit when it's perfectly legal & safe to do so? I travel to work on a B road that changes from 30 to 60 then 40 then back to 30. The number of people that just bimble along at 35 regardless of what the limit is really p's me off. In my diseasal Astra I can't just pass like I can in the Omega.
These are the people who are often sat at the front of a very long queue of cars on fast A. It just frustrates people behind who will then make some dodge overtake to get passed them - or even go a little faster than the imposed limit.
Speed doen't always kill ...... clicky

.... the start of the duel carrageway. I don't think I was the only one assuming a 70 MPH limit on that stretch.
The Elland by pass is another example of a now 50 mph limit dual carrage way .... complete with THREE cameras.
Funny how dual carrage ways are having their limit reduced at the same time as cameras are fitted. My town's dual carrage way by-pass used to be 40 then coincidently as it was reduced to 30mph a camera was also fitted.
I don't go through Prston very often but it does appear that they're trying to use up the world's supply of yellow reflective sheet for all their cameras!
They're on every corners.

i didnt see any cameras anywhere so i sped up to stop this magpie landing on my boot, hence the 35 mph

I'd take it to court. There's no way a judge could convict you with such mitigating circumstances!

Quote35 in a 30 seems a bit harsh tbh
they do you at 34mph now bud !! 33mph and you get to go on awereness course that costs you £50 robbing idiots
Different forces different guidelines. I was invited on a speed awareness course after being clocked at 37 in a 30 last March. Cost £85

Could the warmer condistions of the day helpped. Not complaining
It should work the other way around. A cold day with cold more dense air should give more bang per buck.

How are you going to pump them up again?
Costco will apparently fill them up for you. I asked. Not much use if you live a distance from your nearest Costco though.
