Probably offence code 1909
Fixed penalty notice £30
<<<< Thats what i got for driving my car like pictured in avatar
Thats what it is for not displaying a number plate. In my experience they will just tell you to clean it off

I washed mine on Tuesday, and there's now so much dirt/road salt on the windows that they don't actually wipe. And my mate tried writing in the dirty earlier and it's just solid.

Ive noticed a few cars with completly unreadable number plates recently, if its just a £30 fine and no points then its well worth while being a dirty lil bugger, you only have to go through one speedcamera to get your moneys worth.

Think I need to start doing that. I completely washed it at 9 in the dark before work. 35 miles later and it's dirty again. Granted not as dirty, but still fucking annoyed

Got stopped this evening... breath test, and checked the tread on my tyres. All he said about my plates was that the "dinky front one looks cool"

A lot of this breath testing going on this time of the year. Fair play to them doing this.. Annoys me that i got done for 35 in a 30 at 8.30 on a Saturday morning Really can't afford anymore points on my licence right now, need to get my car cleaned and a bluetooth handsfree for my phone.
We went the pub this afternoon as no-one could be arsed I stuck to coke knowing the risks.

sorry i lied, just went and checked my car and realised it's dirty as fuck this is a couple of dirty chunks of dirt down the sides, not bad for 2 weeks worth though
