It seems to be becoming popular to fit what I can only describe as smoked number plates.I've seen a few cars round here are now sporting them but for some odd reason they seem to be either fitted to the front or rear not both ends on the same car.Presumably illegal as you can't read them from the required distance are they supposed to be anti-camera plates or just the latest chavvy fashion item?

Lots of them round here too.

Cheers, mate. I'll ask one of the local street rats about the plates when I've finished my sentence.

It does brighten my day when the tax on both of your cars are due and you have to part with over a grand.

Re. The numberplates, as far as I can work out, stupid people think they make you invisible to speed cameras.

Whereas in reality a) they don't and b) you are guaranteed to get a tug from any and all coppers who see the plate because it's a guaranteed win for Her Madge's coffers, and that's before they look over the rest of the car.

In a similar vein, people who incorrectly space private plates to nearly spell words or their name.

Thanks, Jimmy. Incorrectly spaced plates are becoming quite the norm around here, as are the darkened plates. As far as I can see, only a traffic cop would bother pulling anyone for the 'offence', and I really can't remember the last time I actually saw one. Local plod are not interested at all, and the few of them I see driving around seem to totally ignore minor transgressions.
Bigger fish to fry in today's world, I'm afraid.

[Viral_Jim]

Probably fair.

A guy I work with got a £60 wonder going through a mobile speed trap. He was under the limit, but they picked up on his illegally spaced plate.

Guess that's just the risk you run

Often a dodgy plate leads to other 'issues'....
Derbys Police pull over driver for dodgy plate, blows over drink drive limit.

Around these parts it is often big four wheel drive, Chelsea tractors, that have “personalised” plates, but not the legal versions. They spell names are make some form of statement, and act as though no driving law applies to them judging how they bully other drivers

There is though a Bentley parked a street up from me with the plates RU SILLY, using of course an illegal version and spacing of “5”.  But no local police officer will deal with it as it is a “Traffic Police” matter!
