Have seen number plates that are visible at 90° angle only. Toll cameras can't see it.

Then there's the 'camera shy' plates. Perfectly visible, but when a light is shone on them, all that can be read is 'turbo'. Haven't seen one in years, maybe it's because speed cameras don't always flash anymore?

Still have a can of that magic lacquer I bought in the RDS years ago. €5 half price, 15 mins before closing. Bargain, I thought. Never tried it.

I see the new one with this crowd is to remove the front number plate and either have it on the dash or just leave it off altogether. very cheeky in my opinion, asking for trouble with the Guards.

Surprised they don't replace it with the "Stars and Bars" tbh given the level of fúckwittery involved.

The law just says it has to be fixed to the front and back but doesn't say it has to be on the bumper. However, most of these lads don't have the "fixed" on their dash so still breaking the law.

TBH, even those who sell cars are breaking the law by putting their garage details on it:

- The registration number, which consists of numbers and letters, must be in black on a white reflective background
- The name of the county of registration must be in Irish, (for example, Baile Átha Cliath)
- The EU flag and the letters "IRL" must be placed on the left-hand side of the plate. The flag shows 12 gold stars in a circle, with the letters "IRL" in white underneath it, all on a blue reflective background.
- No other numbers, letters, or marks, should appear on your registration plate.

Not really number plate related, but a burnt orange Qua...qus.. CASHKEYE... passed me yesterday and the entire front windscreen was reflective orange! Couldn't see a thing behind the windscreen, and it was a clear midday!

Do you think these guys are asking for trouble with the plates on their dash?

If I was a guard, I would spot them, note the time and date then pull them a week or 2 later and see what they say, which would be oh it fell off today etc ...

Haven't seen yellow plates for a while now. The Garages/dealers often had plates on the dash.

Not if it's on the plate surround like it almost always is.

But every motorcycle dealer in the country will happily sell you a bike with stick-on vinyl numbers, which are illegal (and usually with the dealer name on the plate itself, too.)

Probably thousands of those plates in Letterkenny this weekend. Should have been the rally weekend but it's (rightly) cancelled. But there is an "unofficial" gathering organised. A friend passed through earlier and said the place is heaving. Even takeaways had to cancel deliveries cos the traffic was so heavy.

Donegal is a special place.
