The answer is the less numbers and letters you have on your plate the smaller it can be!

And you will never see a German bike with a small plate,
there cops must be really keen.

The plates are issued by the Stadt.

I recall a perfect spot for the boy racers; a hill with a 90 degree left hander at the bottom. The crowd would gather to watch the "heroes" perform through the bend and get their knee down. The German police would come along and watch and as long as there was no real stupidity were happy to let the shinannigans continue. They seemed very understanding Would only get involved if a rider was to miss the corner and end up in the adjacent field

Much more understanding than what would be allowed here methinks

As it's been around for a couple of years why do the soft targets like us with slightly smaller plates that can still be read by the super cameras get pulled over like I did with a £30.00 fine.

Why not just sit outside a field that is being squatted on with tarmmac lorries etc and nick the fecking lot that are not registered. 4 X 4 mercs and the others.

Sorry Baza got to take issue with you over the reference to the travellers.

1.They are somewhat rebelious

2.They do act illegally.....sometimes

3.They do like to camp in muddy fields.

BUT SO DO HARLEY RIDERS

Now, dont break the law and you wont get fined;)

I always thought the Fire Brigade and the Police got on quite well

Now its their choice, dont make em bad people, but it may cost them £30. I'm the same with parking, sometimes I take a chance on yellow lines, sometimes I get away with it, sometimes I dont, but its my choice and I knoe if I get caught it will cost me, and over the years I have to say I've been lucky more often than not.

Hi WildBill

Could you explain what 'VDRS' is please?

I'll sneak in as WildBill is not around at the mo...

From a Plod site...

Vehicles - Vehicle Defect Rectification Scheme (VDRS) Tickets

A VDRS ticket can be issued by a police officer for certain offences relating to the condition of a vehicle, and are issued dependent on the relevant factors of the offence, at the officer's discretion. This gives the driver the opportunity to have the fault repaired, rather than be prosecuted. To avoid the possibility of prosecution, the driver must do the following within 14 days of the ticket being issued:

• Have the vehicle repaired.
• Have the vehicle inspected at an MOT approved testing station.
• Have the VDRS ticket endorsed at the MOT test station to confirm that the fault is rectified.
• Forward the completed VDRS ticket to the Central ticket Offices within the time specified on the ticket.



Basically it is to stop people ending up in the court system clogging it up for something like a rear light not working and gives a real opportunity to deal with a minor problem ensuring it actually get's fixed.

A Police officer does not have to give you an opportunity to have a VDRS notice but when it comes to the crunch and he's going to write you a ticket or report you, you could ask why he is not issuing one and this might save you from a penalty or court appearance.
