Number Plates

             Okay, how many off you have been stopped by the revenue collector or should i say the police for having a number plates too small? I have, and received an on the spot fine. (Ba$tard$!) I rode away a little pissed off thinking screw you I'll pay every time you stop me. But as often happens I changed my mind, I can't be doing with the hassle.

So off i go with old plate in hand (coz I don't know my number) and ask my local bike shop to make me a new legal one. To my suprise the finished article was only just bigger than the one I was nicked with a few days ago?

Are you sure this is right? I ask, the shop keeper assured me it was so of I poddled to fit it. On route home i pssed a police station and swung in just to confirm it was legal. I asked at the desk, the office there didn't know but he went into the back to ask someone else, they didn't know. Hmm? Then a traffic cop pulled in, he was bound to know because it was this worthless scum that nicked me to start with. Yep you guessed it he didn't know??? What the £uck was going on, how could i have a fine to pay when the police don't have a clue themselves? The traffic guy suggest I rang traffic head quarters which I did and to my shock (not) they couldn't friggin' help.

So here we are to help the bikers and the police alike follow this link to be sure your plate is legal. http://www.dvla.gov.uk/vehicles/regmarks/reg_marks_current_requirements.htm#motorcycles
