Number Plates & the boys in blue !!
 

I got "pulled over" by a patrol car this afternoon........(riding sensibly & within the speed limits). "your number plate is not of the required size". Plod produced a rule & details of the required number plate size for motorcycles. The letters on your plate are 2 & 1/8" high, when it should be 2 & 1/2" high !!! (9.525mm too short). Definately something for crime watch then (OK all the letters & numbers, were on the same line, instead of being in two parts). Plod gave me form 664/documents & rectification......."if i catch you again -- £30 fine OK".

Ohh well.....didn't even look at the DP termi 57mm system :lol:

You have been warned....

Chris

Same happened to me a couple of years back chris.
Only my numbers were 1/8", yes one eighth of an inch, too small - and I got a twenty quid fine! Lost a little bit of respect for the traffic dept after that one.

So, if it's illegal, why whine when you are caught?

Lets face it .... part of this is bravado and done to antagonise .....

You got a producer .... so what!!

because it's not a big enough deal to waste 20 minutes of public time and cost me 20 quid when 1/8th of a inch doesn't show any intent to break the law :mad:
Then the cheif constable says they're under-resourced.
so quit tellin me not to winge.

soap box time over.... happy again :)

You could just put a normal number plate on it, then they wouldn't stop you. Then you wouldn't have to waste everyone elses time posting your whinge ......:lol:

And anyway, I was refering to Chris .... you don't think they pulled you over for riding a ugly bike , do you ?

sorry pieman, must be my time of the month.

Well Mr Pieman.....as the old saying goes: "my bike = your face"

:lol:

me too mine was a 1/4" to small didnt help maters me saying he should be out catching real criminals he went over the bike like a rash trying to find something wrong with it and then they wonder why we call them PIGS or worst.

:mad::mad::mad:

They are only doing a job...And jumping through the hoops that the goverment ask them to.
If you worked in the public sector then you'd know...You have targets to work to.
AND as a school Ma'am...I always say "if you do something unkind to someone they will do it back"...
What did you expect roadrunner???
You'd have probably ended up with a converstaion about how nice your bike was and an apology as he gave you a producer....

Sorry Chris, even I'm not that ugly !!! Maybe in the wrong light, granted .... but at least my mum and dad didn't try and revamp me after a year!!!! :lol::lol::lol:
