Has the law on number plates changed?

[Red Devil]

Was down the garage the other day and a couple of people said you now get a £60 fine and 3 points for a small plate instead of just a £30 fine and no points. Anyone know if it's true because my new number plate will definitely get me done if I'm pulled?

I wonder how many people turn up for MOTs on 5 year old bikes, with no hint or marks or dirt on their number plates.

not really the best source of info that.

It says that motorcycles must have both front and rear plates

[soforene]

Make it fixed penalty of £1000 for the twonks that move their letters around to get a "custom" number plate too.
So many pillocks do it these days that the PoPo just turn a blind eye.
Unless there's a purge on.

Come on lads, hit these vain feckless morons where it hurts.

Non-conforming number plates are now £60, but with no points.

[Red Devil]

[JP7]

Yep, number plates, MOTs and seatbelts in cars all went up to £60 with no points recently.

(That's on a fixed penalty basis, rather than court.)

[Red Devil]

Nice little money maker they are on to there!

At least there's no points involved, already got 3 and I would like to keep it that way, can accept a £60 fine if I get caught with the piss take one on there.

Only had it for a week and yet to get pulled, had a pretty small one on there before but nothing like now, old one was 6" x 4" I think.

The exhausts are fecking loud as well

I've had several different plates all with various sizes and font over the years, cheesey slogan etc. all mounted in equaly stupid places at jaunty angles on my bikes.

Handed over £120 in 8 years for them, never had any points, just alot of finger wagging and notebook scribbling.

I'd heard it changed to £60 a while ago, so I now sport 8"x6" plates with standard font, and a legit plate postcode on the bottom + BSAU145d, mounted at what i consider to be a borderline angle.

I think it looks better than the 9"x7" standard, especially on the pitbike, but not so small as to be an issue.
I was followed by the fuzz for 500 yrds other day on the ktm.............nothing.

If your worried about hiding for speedcams and bank jobs, just hook it up on a hinge and an RC car servo and control circuit .
(i made mine when i was at college in '02 it worked a treat for 3 summers before the water got in )

£120 isn't that bad in 8 years to me, you can get done much worse for getting caught using a flip up plate! Plus, mines fitted with Velcro so I can just pull it off...for track days of course

You'd have to hide the servo pretty well, I don't think it would go well if a nosey policeman spotted it.

I'm thinking about a 8"x6" plate, where can you buy them with the legit-looking postcode at the bottom?

[Red Devil]

Ebay is your best shout, there's loads of people making them to order on there, that's where I got mine and it's good quality with quick delivery too.

Anyone know what the fine for no plate is now? Just in case it falls off...

That will be the same, £60 no points, it covers virtually all the number plate offences.

You could always try giving the copper an extremely surprised look if it falls off and you get pulled over. If it ever does happen then it's always worth reporting to the police that it's missing, in case someone finds it and decides to use it.
