I've just noticed as I was leafing through this months EVO magazine that some of the cars they were using (the Enzo, and the Pagani Zonda etc) dont have front number plates. At first I thought this was security for the owners of the cars, but they have the rear ones. And there doesn't seem to be a place on the car for them.

Can these cars get away without them because they are so special, or is it still illegal, strictly speaking. Only mention cus I'd love to get rid of the front plate on my P1. Really spoils the spoiler.

Johnny,

I think you will find, front number plate is the law.

 

people who buy these luxury sports cars will not care for the *poultry penalties of having no fixed front number plate if at the end of the day having them on will the car look crap...

Front number plates are not required...in the States.
However you are required to park with your ar.e out, so the coppers can read the plates as they cruise by.

Wouldn't be so bad if we were allowed to use those natty little plates the eyties have.

 

What the ****'s that - chicken fines

 

..wouldnt want to fall foul of the law though

 

Lol at Scooby do

Uk law is front number plates are a MUST.

I know cos i removed mine drove down the road and copper was waiting at the end of it as if he'd had me under servailance or sumat!
Told him it had fallen off and i was on my way to have it fixed

 

3 years of no front numberplate. Never been stopped, have saved a hell of alot of money on camera van fines though.

 

Cpt. Smudger: front plates are required only in some US states, not all. I'm not aware of anyplace requiring head-in parking so rear plates will be visible to passing cops, but that might be the case somewhere.

Most states issue plates with light, reflective backgrounds - ever so convenient for proviging a bright reflector to laser guns...

 

AK47 - I think you made a ****up of the statement

 

what a knobsack...LOL, you know I meant paltry

need to get back to skool
