you’ll get stopped and fined…

You can get a £30.00 fixed penalty fine, if you continue getting pulled with the plate still on then the Police can seize your bike and you can say bye bye to it.

It is a problem not only for you but everyone else if you are in a group, the Police will pull the lot of you over and go over every bike with a fine tooth comb. So if you have anything illegal like exhaust, lights, indicators and plates expect big trouble.

I know through experience :slight_smile:

points too ?

i think the fine has gone up to £60 :pinch:

And there have been a few arrested (albeit not very often) for attempting to pervert the course of justice.

It depends on how the stopping copper views the offence, most will just give you a ticket, some will take it to the other end of the spectrum, which means your bike could get siezed as well.

No, not yet.

Actually fine has gone upto £60. No points though.

:w00t::w00t::w00t::w00t::w00t::w00t::w00t::w00t: 30 grand :w00t::w00t: i think il leave my dishwasher sized plates on then

So basically, it ain’t worth it :frowning: That a shame.

looks a bit like mine :stuck_out_tongue: £60 fine all round!

Also is it true that if you get stopped for it too many times the DVLA revoke your numberplate and make you ride with Q-plates?

(making it very difficult to sell the bike later)?

ive been stopped 4 times and havent had to do that…

whats a q plate ?

Yeah but you’re scary :smiley:

me!!! im lovely me!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

The DVLA often issue them if you re-register an import or a re-built vehicle or build your own. From past experience with a van they are very difficult/expensive to insure.

As said above, the thing about making small plate “repeat offenders” use a Q-plate is something we heard but not sure whether that is true or not. Where’s Giuliano? He usually knows all about this type of thing:D

I was lucky I got mine just before it went up :smiley: … It wasn’t as if it was blinking small, it was a 7.5 x 5 but N Wales Plod do it by the book even getting their ruler out and measuring.

Go on Ang… put the famous photo on:P

you should have told them to measure something else! :w00t: :Whistling:
