Green 7 with beige vinyl, clam wings, prisoner or non Caterham alloys at 1510 Saturday. What great weather for a blat . I was standing on top of my ladder polishing my 'van in the Silverknowes Caravan Club Site.

Quoting T1PAU: Currently out of stock at Caterham I'm in need of a set 195/45 R15's anyone know of another supplier? I know this isn't very helpfull but they sell as soon as they get them in ❗ They had 18 of nearly size every size last Thursday when I ordered mine.

Quoting chris7860: Yes, your spot on, but it was actually a play on words, as Barclay is my surname, and before you ask I am not a "Banker", although some people may tell you differently!! 😬 Your not a pirate then Chris, disappointed 😬

Quoting Stationary M25 Traveller: .... and they need to sort out the headlight on his ford-wading Navara 4x4 too Ian I think it was the ford that did it ☹️

Quoting Martin Jeffrey: Is your car still melting the rear light lenses Dougie? Caterham really should sort that 😔 Martin CC replaced the lens FoC Now it's melting the fuse for the N/Side F&R side lights, bulbs are okay. I cleaned every thing up today hope it's now fixed . I took the Navara through the ford going to the Feb. meeting and when I returned to it in the Plough car park the tyres were frozen to the tarmac... luckily I remembered not to set the handbrake

Not me. His lights were working 😬

It's Radio 2 for me early morning (not Richard Madely 😔) and late at night . Must give James O'Brien mystery hour a listen

We all do a bit of "winging it". 😬

In answer to your question I am a retired police officer but never served in the traffic police. I am not claiming to be an expert or a smart ass. I am only giving my personal opinion (as we all are) as to the legality of stick on number plates. Regarding Section 3a it refers to “Fixing of front registration plates”. When it refers to “registration plates” it means the legal definition of “registration plates” not what you, I or Joe Public may consider to be a “registration plate”, as I have said earlier, I do not believe a stick on number plate meets that legal definition. As for “Vertically or, where that is not reasonably practicable, in a position as close to the vertical as is reasonably practicable,” this covers the rear plate which on a 7 is at a slight angle but not the front plate as Caterham have fitted the plates under the grill proving that it is “reasonably practicable” to fit them verticaly and there is no functional reason why they cannot be fitted in such a position. In my previous posts I have given my opinion and reasons why I believe stick on plates are illegal. If you disagree with my opinion that’s fine, if you have one that’s fine with me. If you wish to purchase a stick on plate then browse “stick on number plate” you will find that these are now being treated by the traders as “an under the counter item” produced outside the UK and not for sale in say Halfords ... which sort of gives weight to my point of view? We all like to personalise our 7's myself included but so as not to test “reasonableness”, “shades of grey”, the knowledge of your MOT tester or your average copper, I’d go for a registration plate from an authorised trader.

I’ve spent far too much time on this post. I still can’t find any loop holes to make stick on number plates legal... unless it’s a “Classic” car. Stick on plates fail on the following points. They don’t meet the BSI standards including the pre 01/09/01 BSI’s. They are not vertical and they also fail on the laws interpretation of “readable”. No doubt someone will be along in a minute with a different opinion which is fair enough but we must remember the law can be an ass and the original post was are stick on plates legal. M/C’s are exempt front number plates on the balance of safety (too many pedestrians cut in half). ANPR cameras only need a (legal?) number plate to read, front or rear. I think average speed cameras (they can cover 4 lanes) read the front number plate due to the camera technology, my thinking being the front is less “cluttered” than the rear of a vehicle. There was a story that the Renault graphics on some of their sports models confused the cameras... but that will be another thread? London black cabs have legislation covering advertising wraps on the rear of their cabs for similar reasons. As in Germany plates issued by DVLA with an MOT and Tax Disc on the plate would be the answer to all these contrived plates that we see today.

Quoting andy couchman: I would hope that 'they' would adopt a reasonableness test. Are the plates clearly readable? and, given the nature of the vehicle, trying to trace any individual 7 is probably a lot easier than say a VW Golf. So we are doing these thngs not to get round the law but for other reasons (including, you can argue, safety). Older cars may be better off and certainly there is evidence that 7s had nosecone stick on plates fitted in the 50s. I remember when reflective plates were new and technically illegal - not sure there were ever any prosecutions! I would hope for reasonableness but plan for something else... Andy Unfortunately we are dealing with the "Law" here not common sense or "reasonableness". "Are the plates clearly readable ?" In the eyes (sorry) of the law... no. The "Law" says "easy to read by both humans and automatic recognition systems". I presume that is why they have to be displayed in a verticle position. "Classic" 7's appear to okay but you would need "Historic" on your (Exempt) tax disc?
