Number plates  - Operation Larch

Who comes up with these stupid names? And they get paid for it as well

Quote

North Wales Police will be taking part in a nationwide crackdown on illegal number plates, following concern at the growing use of unlawful registration plates.

Operation Larch is a week-long national campaign and starts today (Monday, the 28th of January). The operation is aimed at stepping up enforcement of current regulations by targeting motor vehicles with misrepresented plates.

The seven-day operation will aim to:

• Identify any links between the use of misrepresented registration marks and criminality

Provide suitable evidence to justify changes to penalty levels for related offences and
• Maximise the disruption of criminal activities and reduce crime levels.


No 2. Thats great more reasons to be fined!

We are the 'soft option' for gaining 'Target Quotas' I am led to believe.

However, there are plates out there that are unreadable.

I would suggest to our 'Boys in Blue' to target plates that have PL, LT and ES on them as they are more probable unlisensed even in their country and therefore uninsured.
At my age, it takes me all night to do what I used to do all night!!!!!!!!!!!
Then, growing old is compulsary, but growing up is just optional.

I don't do GREEN, I've got a 4x4

Now not being from the UK could anybody tell me what a Q plate is?

Also why on earth would you want to put plates with a different font on your car, now I understand the importance of fonts in mail, advertising etc but ones license plate  ???

Vehicles are assigned “Q” prefix registration numbers to draw attention to the fact that their origins or age are uncertain. “Q” numbers are therefore non-transferable and must remain with the vehicle unless documentary evidence which confirms its origins/age comes to light.

Le Mans - the how you get there is not quite as important as being there.
