    Coming from you, that is indeed a compliment.

    Now explain to me, and anyone else interested how two signs stating different points, makes one valid and the other not? This is contract law and requires offer and acceptance. There has been none - so the landowner is within his rights to prohibit access.

    Should they not do so, there can be no expectation of any acceptance, making success for them even more problematic.

    Buy hey - if you want to roll over and play their gMe, you just go right on.

    You missed the point.

    You devised a number plate that you believed would help with parking tickets. But then you spelled CONTRACTUAL incorrectly!!!

    I await with interest you posting details of a parking adjudication that you have won as a result of your silver bullet Reg plates.

    He did say earlier that he's never had a court case against him, so obviously his number plates work. It's got nothing to do with him being in Scotland, of course.

    Sounds like the silver bullet means it never gets that far, but I'm intrigued by the idea of the number plates.

    It might be cheaper for you to pay the £100 PCN rather than stump up the £1,000 fine for illegal number plates. Have you read the minimum standards?

    Section 6 covers them.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Who's to say his plates (if they actually even exist) weren't supplied by an RNPS? Section 6 doesn't stop additional text appearing below the registration, as long as the remainder of the plates are to standard. (If this was disallowed then almost every vehicle on the road would be non-compliant, having as most do the name of the dealership the vehicle came from).

    Normally by this point, someone would have firmly, politely, advised Buzby to start his own Thread and not hi-jack bargepole's.

    Buzby, you know how to start a Thread, j'assume?

    That is correct. If fact, as an alternative you could have a small notice stuck in your front and back windows.

    Well the picture he's shown us don't have the BS number or identify the RNPS, which makes them non-compliant.

    Mind you, I've been running non-compliant plates on one of my motorcycles for 11 years (there's no room for a compliant plate) and I've never been stopped.
