Reg mark incorrectly displayed = £100?!

[j.silvs]

Got pulled today for my licence plate.

Didnt realise its now £100 fine for having a small plate?!

Seems a lot to me.

[P.]

Small plate is fine, letter size however...

[garth]

Meh, don't give them an excuse.

What's the fine for not showing a plate at all?

[Doovy]

How small is yours?

Yes, the fines increased, remember all of the stuff about them busting middle lane hoggers etc.? Yeah, that was a cover for the fact the fines were actually increasing. £60 fines are now £100. £30 are now £50.

Oh wow.

Yeah I know its the same as having a letterbox one, but £100? I am so shocked

[-Matt-]

I'm only using 9x7 tea-tray standard ones the last few months since they up-ed it

60 pound was tollerable on the off chance for an 8x6 or whatever, but fuck 100 quid for the sake of an inch or two

Wonder if N30 has seen this yet? He doesn't have a plate, he has a sticker on the inside of the rear wheel arch.

I have a legal 20x14cm (~8x6) plate, although I could go for a 27x8 (~9.5x3.summat).

Mopeds are even luckier and get a 13x9/9x13

I'm not exactly sure why the UK gets so worked up about these things. My Ducati has the exhausts so close together that a full size UK plate doesn't actually fit.

The amount of fine hasn't increased, and you haven't been fined yet.

You've received an offer to pay a fixed penalty instead of being prosecuted, that's all.

If you think you haven't done anything wrong, don't pay it. If you think the copper who stopped you won't show up, or that the CPS will drop the ball, don't pay it.

Yes it's up to £100, that rise was well overdue.

Can I just point out (again!) that there is no actual law relating to the size of your plate in this country?

The legislation refers to the size and spacing of the letters.

If the officer who pulled you didn't measure your lettering at the time they have no case and you could appeal.

These are the dimensions for bikes:

Character height 64mm
n Character width (except the figure 1 or letter I) 44mm
n Character stroke 10 mm
n Space between characters 10mm
n Space between groups 30mm
n Top, bottom and side margins (minimum) 11mm
n Vertical space between groups 13mm

Odd, because when I got "fined" for this I was given a £30 fine, when it turns out it should have been a £60, check to see what your fine is, if it is the wrong fine amount then in the words of the letter and conversation I have had
"The fine is legally unenforceable"

I got my £30 back and the ticket ripped up
