    Catching people with illegal plates is not my highest priority but it does give me an excuse to stop and speak to a driver. There are annoying too with white on black, italics and it can also make them hard to read too especially for cars towards me. It does seem a bit harsh to get done on the plates alone.

    Sorry, Model and Motors were fairly close. I've asked a mod to change it but no sign of it going anywhere :)

    It's a rule just like every other rule...

    I wish the cops would clamp down on smaller things like not indicating or driving too slow...

    This country is full of chancer's and the roads are dispicable because of them...

    Now I don't follow all the rules myself...

    for example some speed limits are ridiculous...


    Bad number plates - stick the fella to the wall.

    Disobeying speed limits - no big deal.

    Douchebag.

    Webmonkey, I called you an idiot in my first post which was a response to your first post (and I stand by it!). Which you are now saying was a rash one so dont be getting precious when someone calls you an idiot.

    Its my last post on the subject some people need to stop being so precious when they are challenged.

    I can see that you are going to be someone who's capable of having a debate on real issues in the future in a mature way - Douchebag. :P

    Bad number plates - Good reason why there illegal.

    Speed limits - Most of them not thought out.

    Man how you can give someone grief over having non-standard license plates and then defend breaking speed limits beggars belief.

    Thank god you're stuck in here playing with dinky cars instead of out on the roads where you'd probably kill someone.

    If anyone else agrees with you that bad license plates are worse than speeding you have no idea how happy I would be to hear their reasoning.

    Some laws should be changed or modified. Some should stay how they are like bad number plates being illegal.

    Many roads in Ireland have a limit of 60. In the UK it would be 70 on some of the same types of roads. There is a motorist group in the UK campaigning to get the limit on the some roads increased to 80.

    Unfortunately due to a minority of idiots that break that limit here in Ireland while being incompetent drivers (hence crashing) it doesn't look like we are going to make any "progress" on the roads in Ireland anytime soon. Put that down to our licensing system.

    Here we go again. Just leave out the bull please. And by the way I don't know of one person on this forum who's into dinky cars. Keep the insults to yourself...this forum is for people into radio controlled flying or modelling which are hobbies for adults or teenagers and not toys for children.

    According to you...

    Do you notice how this conflicts with your earlier statement that "The law is the law" ?

    Actually, I'm going to fix your post again in light of this:-

    The law is the law when it suits workaccount. At all other times, the law is not the law. For example, when the imposes a speed limit that work account disagrees with. This is in no way a contradiction.

    This thread is so just ridicolus!

    So much crap, so little time to reply!

    Personally I wouldn't drive with anything but standard number plates, not worth the hassle of something like this happening, but if Op get fined the guts of €2500 for having non standard number plates (full size ones) then there is something seriously wrong with the laws on our roads. According to here the max fine you can get for speeding is €800, is having dodgey number plates 3 times the crime!!? :eek:

    I wouldnt be suprised if the Ops car was one of the reasons for him getting summoned. My Dad had a Lexus about 7-8 years ago and it came with non standard plates, had it for 4 years before he changed them and only changed them becuase of NCT. One gaurd mentioned to him once but said nothing about it really. And this was with rackign up serious milleage so they would have been seen plenty of times by Guards.

    Ciaran you have made crap post after crap post after crap post... I've never seen someone talk so much sh1te on boards (and thats saying something!)
    Welcome to my ignore list... Population YOU

    I beg to differ - I've been a member of many interweb forums over the years, and this one loses out only just to one or two off the threads in News, Views and Gossip on 2+2 for hilarity.

    I think webmonkey's point is the guard could have been polite. If you get stopped up north the cop will greet you with a hello and ask you do you know the reason you were stopped. Down here you are guilty of something no matter what. The guards need some public relation training and then people will have more respect for them.

    Ok now to get back to this. The theme of this post is based on one sentence I posted by mistake but which was then edited before you even replied.

    If you want to be pedantic there are old laws in this country if you google that are damn strange. There the law though - are you going to break them?

    I'm not going to follow ill thought rules here there and everywhere if there pointless (eg. You have to go about 40km/h for a long distance outside Claregalway on a brand new wide road with 3 whole lanes becuase there are houses planted about the place sporadically) because quite frankly I'm not a sheep. The whole road and driver system in this country needs massive reform and most would agree (especially over on the motors forum)

    Ok all that is fine by me.

    If you can finish the following paragraph to my satisfaction I'll consider the whole issue more or less closed (unless ciaran_dub decides to waddle back in and froth all over the place again):-

    You think some speed limit laws are stupid and decide not to abide by them. I think some license plate laws are stupid and decide not to abide by them. The difference is.....

    Its impossible to conceive that breaking a speed limit which can potentially lead to deaths, is a remotely similar crime as having the illegal number plates that the OP has.
