They need to be authorised vehicle examiners. generally just Road Police are authorised - so not very likely given the decrease in road policing over recent years.

See #40, sometimes it's just printed in the back of their warrant card. So it's possible that some specials have the authority too. :eek:

Thats why I said "generally" because there are some exceptions. The point is they have to be authorised vehicle examiners but totally missed your post :beer:

Cool, so taking the plate off the car to affix to the trailer is legal (if it's physically possible).



It's easy enough done - It's not the first thing to spring to mind, especially if they didn't realise it still had their plate on it, or if it had been loaned out for a while. Say they had it for a few days, it wouldn't fit with the ticket in the same was as if they'd loaned it within hours of it happening.

He had the trailer originally to fix a light and wanted to use it to pick up a large item. As he had the trailer for about two weeks altogether I didn't know what day he was going to use it. I also didn't know where the item he was collecting was situated.

He said he had attached a sign with own number plate to the centre of the trailer however the camera just picked up mine which wasnt covered/removed.

He has now received a NIP and has the option of the drivers course.
