    keep haul you?

    Keel haul, (I'm being picky), involves throwing you off the side of the ship attached to a rope, which goes under the keel and pull you up on the other side of the ship!!          A tad extreme for a number plate offense??

    . . .  perhaps, but just about right for bad spelling.

    I was going to suggest appearing before a Magistrate but have just read that every defendant now has to pay Court Fees of £120 so it is cheaper to pay up now

    Don't get why you are so wound is about this, at the end of the day the plate is wrong and doesn't actually read anything worthwhile unlike some of the examples you gave!

    Admiral, - Sir!  Don't tale it personal, This scurvy crew have been at the rum rashion again.  But I have to agree that my EX Colleagues have been a little over zealous in their enforcement of the regulations.

    Nevertheless your current understandable indignation however justified, is putting in danger  your  impecable record of stoical resiliance!Innocent

    Cor Strewth!  That took a bit of saying!

    I got pulled over in the Discovery before Christmas outside my daughters school as I went to pick her up - much to her embarrassiment - all her friends were around.  They said I had no car insurance.  After having been told that they may need to tow my car away, various phone calls by the police resulted in them finding out that the insurance company had one digit of my registration number down incorrectly.  Mind you it took them a time to find my insurance company.  I thought I was insured through Saga - they had no record of me..... but Saga Direct did!  Two different 'companies' apparently!

    I make the assumption that given the spacing was clearly against the rules that the plate was not made by a bonafide producer of regulation number plates, if so it fails on two counts. Perhaps this was reflected in the size of the fine?

    David, I understand that any number plate violation,  £100 is the fine.

    To be  honest TF, I regret starting this thread, it was done in an act of frustration as the letter from the Dyfed-Powys Police arrived that morning.telling me to fork out £100.

    I shall be carefull in future what threads I start, or may well consider not at all

    Admiral,  As I said, Don't take it personally, you are one of the most highly regarded contributors on here, so hang on in there!

    I very much regret the Over Zealous attitude of Dyfed-Powys Police over this one. It was certainly suited to a VDR and not an immediate fine.

    Best wishes!

    I have a personalised number plate that while it  conforms to the legal spec seems to be unreadable by many NR systems and am allways suprised when a barrier lifts, it may however account for why I get no tolls charges on a stretch of motorway where cameras
    are employedHappy

    Write your comments here...Not being awkward, but how can it be personalised and legal.

    If you are going through tolls and not being charged because your plate is unreadable, beware - as ALL instances will be held, and will mean a marker on the PNC against your number plate. You may well be stopped one day by a mobile ANPR unit and be hit with
    all the charges.

    Because I only found out when the little lad in uniform told me that a £100 fine would be imposed

    Dont see the problem.  The law about number plates is clear enough. Have the plates made up correctly by accredited people and no action will be taken by the forces of law and order. ------------- Simples !!!

    You might want to write to your local Chef Officer or PCC      (Excuse me while I spit on the ground). Pointing out the minor nature of the offence and its detrimental effect on Police Public relations.

    "Committed a Crime eh? Perhaps he ought to go back to Training School and redo the definition of what a Crime is!

    Merve you have put your finger firmly on what ails the Police Service of today. A lack of basic training, not only in the law and the essential points to prove in any court of law, but also proper training in the art of discretion and of dealing with members of the public who might have with no guilty intent infringed against minor legislation.

    The service today is failing  to carry the public with it, and as a result is creating problems for itself in the future, and is also failing in its responsibilty to the public at large.

    I can identify a number of key areas of failure, but as the failings are predominately due to abysmal Home Office and ministerial organisation, it will only result in the thread being pulled!
