Hintza, do you really think I would put an existing plate on here........?!!!! And the question is not about insurance or I would have asked that wouldn't I ?
Some people really do waste forum time.
Yes you/they do:T, show the goddam plate or you lose?
I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

If the road was closed for them then the road traffic act doesn't apply, it only applies to roads "to which the public have access", so that numberplate is fine.0

No it's not, it doesn't comply to the regs so it's not a number plate. The fact the road is closed means it don't need one.;)0 -
I wonder why Trebor hasn't posted back, no doubt he has realised his plate is a wrong un.0

If not then the ticket doesn't count.......
Thats a load of old carp, rubbish, falsehood, fib and incorrect info.:D
The following is from the DVLA website...
When replacing your number plate you should make sure that the correct material has been used to manufacture the plate. It should be made from a reflective material. Front number plates must display black characters on a white background and rear number plate must display black characters on a yellow background.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is not aware of any self-adhesive number plates that meet the British Standard requirements.
Characters on a number plate can be 3D, providing they meet all the other requirements, but honeycomb or other background patterns are not allowed.
Also, the characters on a number plate need to be a standard height and width.
Your number plate should show the correct:- character height - 79 millimetres
- character width - 50 millimetres (except the figure 1 or letter I)
- character stroke - 14 millimetres
- space between characters - 11 millimetres
- space between groups - 33 millimetres
- top, bottom and side margins - minimum 11 millimetres
- space between vertical lines - 19 millimetres

The question wasn't whether its legal or not....!!!
The question was what can I do to appeal as I know it IS legal. Have even asked another policeman if he can see anything wrong with them and he couldn't.
You fill in the back and ask to be taken to court. Then take the plate in to court to show the magistrates. If you are right, you will win. If you are wrong, expect a hefty set of costs on top of the fine. Simples!We need the earth for food, water, and shelter.

The earth does not belong to us.
