Andy Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 It doesn't matter if you or I can read it, you most likely got pulled over because the police automatic number plate reader couldn't pick it up. Unlucky, though but at least if you get pulled over once you have changed it and got it approved then you can show them the certificate if you get pulled again.

M13KYF Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 sorry but what did you expect. You knew you were braking the law when you put the plate on or in fact when you purchased it. tough I know but If it helps stop cars driving around with no insurance, tax and alike then I'm for it.

Also if it was stolen, the reader would not pick up your car number plate, thus the police may not stop them to question or check out the car as they could not match it to their records.

Chesterfield Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 You got away lightly. Derbyshire Constabulary, and particularly those in and around Chestrfield appear to have little else to do but hand out fixed penalty notices for slightly iffy number plates. Ive been done twice for differing plates on cars, and both were even more ligible than yours. As long as it is legible by the ANPR system then you should be fine - though I doubt even that will be good enough for the feds in our neck of the woods. Lets not worry about the level of antisocial behaviour taking place in Chesterfield, and the ludicrous level of vandalism of public property, as long as your number plate is corrected, I feel my tax pennies have not gone to waste. Just take it on the chin, get the plate changed to something that is closer to the law, and fingers crossed the boys in blue in Chesterfield come up with something a little more productive to do. The problem is the stats in Derbyshire - detecting your crime and issuing you with the notice to correct is now recorded as "crime detected - crime resolved". Whereas "trying" to find the culpits of the smashed car windows or vandalised bus shelters, doesnt acheive their targets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zedrush Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I watched something on TV the otherday where police were working on the motorway and pulled some kid from the car cos he didnt pay for petrol and they thought the car was stolen. The police proper man handled him I thought, and the kid was not threatening him in the slightest, I thought to myself if that was me the police would find himself head first in his front windscreen and ill just say self defence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A thief is a thief....imo they should get him in the back of a police van and give him a good kicking. Bit of down to earth street justice is what this country needs. No doubt he got away with a telling off and a rather sought after ASBO or some nonsense like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Im all for the ANPR system being used to catch folk, and I presume thats why this plate got stopped. Though in my experience the un taxed, uninsured motors stopped in the TV shows are almost invariably 1989 Vauhall Astras with bits dropping off, or 1992 ford mondeos with different coloured doors and a rattling exhaust.
