Admiral, - Sir!  Don't tale it personal, This scurvy crew have been at the rum rashion again.  But I have to agree that my EX Colleagues have been a little over zealous in their enforcement of the regulations.

Nevertheless your current understandable indignation however justified, is putting in danger  your  impecable record of stoical resiliance!Innocent

Cor Strewth!  That took a bit of saying!

I got pulled over in the Discovery before Christmas outside my daughters school as I went to pick her up - much to her embarrassiment - all her friends were around.  They said I had no car insurance.  After having been told that they may need to tow my car away, various phone calls by the police resulted in them finding out that the insurance company had one digit of my registration number down incorrectly.  Mind you it took them a time to find my insurance company.  I thought I was insured through Saga - they had no record of me..... but Saga Direct did!  Two different 'companies' apparently!

I make the assumption that given the spacing was clearly against the rules that the plate was not made by a bonafide producer of regulation number plates, if so it fails on two counts. Perhaps this was reflected in the size of the fine?

David, I understand that any number plate violation,  £100 is the fine.

To be  honest TF, I regret starting this thread, it was done in an act of frustration as the letter from the Dyfed-Powys Police arrived that morning.telling me to fork out £100.

I shall be carefull in future what threads I start, or may well consider not at all

Admiral,  As I said, Don't take it personally, you are one of the most highly regarded contributors on here, so hang on in there!

I very much regret the Over Zealous attitude of Dyfed-Powys Police over this one. It was certainly suited to a VDR and not an immediate fine.

Best wishes!
