Front plate

[Anonymous]

Anyway,it's off and looks lovely in a stealth mode sort of way.I shall,of course,observe all speed limits in future having been as naughty as to travel at 35mph in a 30 zone and 58 in a 50 and being caught has taught me a vital lesson.In future i shall be guilty of shameless vanity and nothing more.

Oh, the witty sarcasm aimed at me is too much to handle!

35 in a 30 zone is more dangerous than any of us (myself included) appreciate when thinking about stopping distances, but that needn't concern you, just make sure that if you run someone over, that you reverse away so they don't see your rear plate, that way you can't be caught.

And why not calm the nerves with a drink whilst driving away, I mean, you can probably have several pints and still be ok, and what is the law to contradict your opinion?

Aren't you being a tad hysterical? He's talking about leaving a number plate off and risking a piddly fine, not slaughtering kids on the pavement outside a primary school after drinking a bottle of whisky.

Gordon Bennett!

And I'm sick of sports car drivers telling me they never break the law. Its bollocks and they know it.

You obviously didnt get my point. I am always in a hissy fit. I thought we'd turned this thread round to being more productive - my comments are my opinion, and the OPs comments are his. That is fair enough, and I was just raising the issue of it being illegal to do what he suggests, all for the sake of looks. You are correct, removing the plates is nothing like drink driving or running people over, perhaps my attempt at witty sarcasm didn't work.

I then moved it onto a discussion of what are the consequences of removing the plates and then onto why are they needed in the first place.

I'm not intending to keep an argument going, I thought the thread was back on track to something more productive, as I said earlier, I am interested.

Week 1 : Stopped by motorcycle policeman in Dorset for speeding He loved the car and chatted away about his BMW 1200RT police bike before issuing me with a fixed penalty No mention of the front plate

Result. Great thread - reminds me of Barry boys gold.

You should have pointed to the 2.3 badge and told him that speeding wasn't a possibility. :wink:

Although I can appreciate people's opinions on here, I can't see any harm in not having a front plate and a common sense approach to most things in life will see you on track to avoiding the cells.

The thread gave a good read though thanks for the entertainment

I'll bet £20 that no fines are issued within 6months.

Well i have had my plate on my dash for nearly a month now.. as i got a new M bumper fitted, and just havent had time to get my plate fitted.

Passed a dozen police cars, multiple average speed camera's and more importantly got pulled on the random spot checks they do on a sunday morning... checking for drivers over the limit.... and no one has even mentioned my front plate to me

But then my car is mainly driven on the weekends.
