£60 FINE for Metal Pressed plates!

[AjayB]

Kwik Fit did say they do conform to the law and are LEGAL in their eyes.

Ajay go to LK Performance in Cleckheaton and they'll order some Dubmeister plates in for you which are without a doubt legal. They'll give you a receipt so you can show the next officer you're not lying.

Cheers Nasir, yes i remember them doing the plates. I'll ask them about getting some made and to check mine for me when i go down to look at some Team Dynamics wheels.

To be fair to them it must be hard to memorise every little intricate detail of the law considering they don't really even study law. But yes, it is frustrating when this happens. My best mate's a copper and I've caught him out on a few things to do with car legalities myself! Not confidence inspiring though is it haha!

Very true mates BF said its illegal not to have a spare wheel and hes a copper, I sent him upstairs to get his law book and proved him wrong, and then on a load of other motoring offences. Tho if they arnt sure why do someone for it, he just said he avoids anything hes not 100% on.

Cool, which wheels are you going for? Same as Buzz?

You know buzz? Lol. Yeah I think I might get those in black. Those are the only nice legit wheels to go for in a tight budget.

Lol ye he's a good friend. I helped him pick out the alloys. I think they'd look good in black. BTW we should have picked you up on NYE, bit of a let down on the night lol.

Bumping this thread -



Is the Ebay ones that say 100% Legal are really Legal ?  Im on a hunt for some new plates.

[Deako]

I got mine from Dubmeister at GTI International a few years back. Never had any problems with them on several cars. Its a cherished plate, so i reuse them.

[Dsg steel]

Had mine 6 months or so no problem as yet. Fingers cross

Just an update on this, I know it's been a LOOOOONG time since the original post. The issue went to court and got everything drooped by the magistrates. It was a long process as it didn't go to court until last month.

another factor i find aswell is the "attitude test"

2 mates of mine both got pulled by the same officer locally.
1 - got out and was an arse. got fined.
1 - got out all polite with standard plates in boot, got a lecture and sent away all good.

Obviously common sense prevails with this, your right. But I hate the fact this happens. Im not a huge fan of the police, I dont need to be polite if there is some officer telling me my plates are illegal if they are legal.

Argh they get on my nerves. half of them couldnt tell you what the definition of a dual carriage way was.

Some interesting points on here, most notably those defending the police saying they shouldn't be expected to know every single piece of legislation.

The question comes about then, should they really be pulling people up on laws that they don't fully understand?

Well done for taking it to court and standing up for what you believed was right!
