Re: Cars with foreign No plates



Maybe its easy and seems easy. However, the consequences of being caught out
are expensive as are the consequences of being involved in an accident in
which case you would almost certainly have invalidated your insurance.
False number plates are probably best used if you intend to carry out a
much more serious crime than avoiding conjestion charges.

Whilst on the subject of number plates, three years ago I discovered that I
had used the cross channel ferry on three occasions, during which I had my
(recently purchased) car thouroughly seached by customs on one occasion.
The day arrived to renew the MOT and the mechanic discovered that my front
and rear number plate hhad a slightly different registration number.
