Black number plates
« on: 11 November 2011, 00:12:35 »

Guessing these are NOT legal. Unless the vehicle was made before 1973....?

That's my understanding :-\

Although ISTR that the mot manual didn't state colours of plates when I was testing so you could present with 2 white plates ::)

Never mind legal - they're for uphill gardeners unless on a classic, surely? ;)

Yup.. apparently fairly guaranteed a tug, too. I never had the bottle to put the one I have onto the Nissan (black car, black plate.. bit uphill gardener, perhaps, but..)

Having said all that .. I also know people who have driven around with no front plate at all for four years or so without a single word said by the police, even when one had a good walk around the (relatively unusual) car at a petrol station..

Might not work so well on the Omega though - on said car there wasn't really a 'good place' for a front plate, so it didn't look out of place without one at all.

This isn't 'people' as in a coy way of saying 'me' btw.. ;D I do not have the balls or the luck to try that - I'd get stopped after five minutes, I'm sure. And I have no desire to receive an anal probing from the boys in blue ;)

(Said people no longer own those cars either - they got all posh and upgraded to matching Porsches..)

About the only thing you can sensibly put on the front of a westfield, apart from nothing, or an illegal small plate. Got bored with a full size plate getting taken out by road kill and speed humps.
