probably for petrol forecourt drive - off.
I was at the traffic lights one day when the bloke in the car behind got out and pulled off his number plates revealing different ones underneath. I phoned the old bill with the details so he must have been caught.

Your plates will probably be used for crime (unles it was a drunken joke!). Report it before the cops think its you commitng crimes.

You cant easily get fake plates anymore, used to be a case of walk into halfrauds or local motorfactor, ask for certain plates, hand over cash, get plates, job done.

Now you need V5 and identification with proof of address, and anyone who makes plates has to have a licence and put their name and postcode on them, so numberplate theft is probably getting real common now, especially for petrol station drive off's.. i filled mye30's 62 litre tank at 96p a litre.. ouch!! the rover is running on manky asda fuel though.. (89p a litre)

You can still get plates off the net with whatever you want on them, as long as you agree they're for off road use only etc. etc.....

Well you could a few weeks ago when I checked anyway!

Not saying you're wrong about the new rules though, just that there are easy ways to get around them.

If this happened friday you probably won't recieve the congestion charge zone fine, speeding/parking tickets untill next month :?

Hope you reported it straight away.
