depends how strict the police are around your area, i went 11 months without a number plate on the front and got pulled 3 times, and was only giving a producer twice,
the most u can get is a £30 fine, no points

Had mine since last June and drive my car 30 miles a day 5 days a week to work plus wherever I go at weekends and not been pulled for it once. Will depend on what the police in your area are like.

I dont hang around in car parks or town centres like a boy racer though!

Buy a jap import then you can legally fit smaller (motorbike size letters) plates if their isn't room for full size ones.

Its all legal too.

Uber annoying!

this really pisses me off..... a car can pass an MOT with a cardboard number plate, but the fuzz always pull people over.

the other day i was behind a police car, infront of him was an old transit with cement and shit all over the number plate.

Could NOT see one letter or number. The police did fook all about it....... Rant over.

If the text is standard size and spacing I doubt you'll ever get pulled.

Won't be 100% legal if it doesn't have postcode etc on it but not illegal enough to ever get pulled.

I never got pulled - I have a friendly policeman live opposite me who tipped me off. I had 3 cars turn round after me but I always ducked down a street or a car park When I get bored I pop the plate back on sometimes but I know I'm being monitored now
