Wrong licence number on a police fine

iolanthe07

Licence plate is correct. License plate would be incorrect both here and in the US. Some Brits are starting to spell 'tyre' the American way. Minor errors do not invalidate a notice from a police officer.

Not so.

Licence Plate is the correct in the UK and wrong in the US

License Plate is correct in the US and wrong in the UK

The word licence is not used at all in the US

OP, you may like to consider asking you question on Pepipoo.

You might also want to consider fessing up to the duff tyre and being a man/woman instead of trying to squirm your way out of your error :mad:

and everything else! they spend 13 years at school learning to speak English and then learn to speak American overnight.

Off topic, but I just wish people would learn how to spell Vodafone ... the number of threads on here where people refer to Vodaphone astounds me - do they honestly not know how to spell it properly, or do they just not care?

Assuming that the police officer checked it properly. It's quite common for them not to. A police officer measured mine at the edge once, and it was actually perfectly legal. Once I reminded him, he suddenly remembered how it should be done

OP, you can forget the error on the FPN. It's not a goer.

If you are satisfied that your tyre was defective, then this is one to pay up. If you're not or you're unsure (and you can check here: http://www.etyres.co.uk/uk-tyre-law), then keep the tyre and take it to a garage, and ask someone to confirm it's legal.
