Been pulled for me tinted number plates, can't argue,
at the end of the day they're illegal, no points but a £50.00 fine, read me, me right's and breatherlised me
(zero by the way) apparently it's procedure. Ya live and learn, still going to change the plates to something a bit fancier , BUT totally legal this time.

A lad at work bought a Jeep a few years back, the reg plate was ??J33P with illegal spacing. A copper driving towards him actually turned around to pull him over .... typically being a red head he gave the copper a hard time instead of being subservient , needless to say he got a ticket. He'd only had the car a week or 2 at the time.

Sorry, but those grey-tinted plates really grip my sh1t. They're there to identify the car.

Yes totally life threatening and a menace to society..........

Oh you may mean they are designed to avoid a fine after driving through a photographic ATM

Or they could be used by armed robbers to avoid ANPRs? I'm sure you'd want criminals to be tracked?

And if you have to hide behind them because of your behaviour you deserve all of what you get. :(

Could be 260 OLL with some carefully placed screws
or L60 OLL with dodgy font and screws

I still don't know. I tried 260 OIL in askmid...but said not insured. This highlights why the correct spacing and font should be used.

The armed robbers round here don't have number plates,
and they don't bother running when more than 500 meters from the crime.

Didn't get them to go through speed cameras, rob bank's or owt else for that matter, got them because I thought they looked good ( a matter of opinion I know) You could say not crime of the century or life or death,
(not to the copper of course) I knew they were illegal, took a chance and it backfired, so fair cop, so to speak.
