then thought what about none atall! BUT what type of punishment would i get is it just the £30 fine or will it be more???

Dude, you are opening yourself up to some serious grief here, it would be a stupid idea and now delete thread.

The GTI looks great without plates, take the back one off as well. :happy2: And dont worry about the Rozza's they will just tell you to put them back on :wink:
-
I've been running without my front plate on my car and van since the summer and never had a problem. Not even bothered putting it in the front screen.
You get a fixed fine but no points if your unlucky enough to get stopped.

When i had it in the window of my corsa it would tuck down and you couldnt even see it and the cops werent happy but still told me to put it back and sometimes a fine but i thought maybe as its not there at all then points may come in to play :signLOL:

Well on that 'logic' put the plate in your boot, then you'll still have a plate in the car that can't be seen, rather than no plate at all...
-
so if you get stopped maybe 4 - 5 times a year.. get 2 warnings and 3 fines.. thats only £90??
Id rather display a plate and give the £90 to charity.. but if you want to line the public purse then please be my guest ;)

When I was a biker a few of my mates with Ducati 996's would take their number plates off and just use the Brother Label Printing machines to print out a number plate in Yellow with Black writing.
'If' they got stopped for no number plate they used to point them to the label which obviously did not conform but it was a number plate.
£30 thankyou.
If no number plate then not sure if points are involved but you could give it the 'somebody must have nicked it'!
I do not condone any of the above.

Years ago a mate of mine stuck press studs on both his front and rear number plates and when the coppers stopped him he said sorry I forgot to put them back on, they been stolen 4 times and you boys aint caught the guy doing it yet, so now they are detachable!! (he did have his plates stolen several times while he was at his GF's house overnight as she lives in a pretty shonky area), he always kept the plates in his boot and just stuck em straight back on when he got stopped.
I think he used to get stopped about twice per month, on the plus side I believe he had fun driving back and forth through a speed camera at night one fine evening, he said they must ahve had about 50 pictures that night of a black car with no plates :evilgrin:

To alter or remove a number plate may be seen by some Officers as trying to pervert the course of justice , so would involve a bit more than a fine , don't do it.

"Pervert the course of justice", police speak for "Trying to get away with something they deem an offence" (Everyone is guilty), To alter it yes agreed, to remove it due to constant theft not so much, especcially if you reported said theft 3-4 times in space of 2 months to police

You shoulsd see the thread about "how to drive a GTI" Brahahahahahahahaha
-
Does seem to be some ridiculous threads at mo, like I said initially in the nicest possible way, there is a reason a car has number plates, I'm not going to explain why, to ask a question like this beggars belief, I think TC put it best but maybe some didn't get his sarcasm, this is not rocket science, keep the plate.

x2
dont know whats happened on here lately

^^^^^^^^ X3 Was just thinking the same thing :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Perhaps it shows the lack of respect for the law is increasing , if number plates were not required can you imagine the chaos and law breaking that would go on :innocent:
-
Lack of respect for the law is a 2 way thing. I still fail to see the reasoning behind the requirement for a front number plate, loads of other countries manage fine and don't seem that lawless without them. Also motorbikes over here don't have them and I haven't noticed a epidemic of crime committed by motorcyclists. This thread is leaving a nasty taste it almost seems like this forum is becoming elitist ?

I just think the golf looks good with no reg plate :driver: :signLOL:

So do I, it looks way better. But rules are rules and I'm bummed if I'm running the risk of a fine or worse just for the sake of a number plate.

Elitist for telling someone not to break the law! :stupid:
-
Sure none of us ever speed on here ? Im all for telling people not to break the law. But people in glass houses
-
Perhaps the other countries dont have front facing cash converters (Speed cameras such as Specs or Truvelo which read front plate and issue Police christmas party fund fines) :grin:
-
The police don't make the laws, they enforce them. If you don't agree you need a plate, then complain to your MP. How would you feel if someone was killed by a car and witnesses couldn't ID the car because the plate was missing?
If you're stupid enough to break the law, then at least be prepared to take your punishment like a man. I hope they hit you hard.
-
No different to if they were. Killed by somebody speeding. I'm not grumbling about it, I accept that if I break the law that I face the appropriate punishment. but fail to see why having a front number plate is needed on a car when it isn't on a bike,
I know it's because in the olden days they acted like a razor but modern bikes have triple clamps so can mount easily.
And the mk5 does look so much better with no front plate.

Lack of respect fro the law is a 2 way thing ? What do you mean ?
The reasoning for the front number plate is obvious as you may not see the rear one as it crashes into you and knocks you down and drives off !

I always treat as I get treated. Always start politely needles to say in my experiences not all officers of the law are the same
