Better get your show plates ordered now!!
 

DVLA are tightening up on show plates. Please see the following article about showplates:

You won't be able to get one from 1st November 2008.

Won't make any difference. If they do clamp down, the manufacturers will just move offshore....

There's always someone willing to bend the rules, nothing to panic about.

I believe that if you are running a show plate at the moment you are charged with not displaying a number plate rather than having a non-standard numberplat

Therefore show plates are not number plates, therefore dont count under these regs.

Besides read the linked DVLA article, these laws ALREADY exsist in England - its just an extension into Scotland and Northern Ireland

So basically nothing to worry about and nothing new

Disagree there:

"While it is already an offence across the UK for motorists to display non-compliant number plates on their vehicles, as of 1st November 2008 it will become an offence to supply number plates that do not comply with the Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001. Some number plate suppliers already advise their customers that non-compliant number plates cannot be used on the road and are for display purposes only, however, it will now be an offence to supply non-compliant number plates irrespective of any advice given."

So start selling show plates as wall decorations to remind you of your bike then. Or maybe as non-magnetic fridge magnets for people with pacemakers.

Ok I stand corrected - must have fallen asleep around that point...... :)

Re: Better get your show plates ordered now!!
 

Will a none magnetic fridge magnet work on my plastic fridge?

Re: Better get your show plates ordered now!!
 

Of course it will! And it won't bend your microwave either!
