Some little scrote in Dundee decided to rip off my back number plate

- ive still got the plate but what is the best thing to stick it back on with?

Does Halfrauds sell that double sided tape stuff that it was fixed on with???

Did you know, to velcro your number plate on is illegal...or so the bobbie told me when pulled over a couple of years ago.

Mine has just been knocked off on a badger officer...

Why's that then?
Surely there's no law that states how your numberplate is fixed to your car. Sounds like sh*t to me.

You sure it was ripped off? Sometimes they just fall off with the heat from the exhaust.

Gareth's right (and you all know how much it pains me to agree)

but there is a requirement for you number plate to be securely attached, velcro by its very nature isn't secure.

Remember though they cant touch the car, if they can't see it, it's fine

Which is exactly what I said to Greg last friday!

Oh yeah, apart from the exhaust!!! They check that without looking...!

I think my comment about the exhaust was something like "blowing like an old pro"

So how can sticky pads be classed as secure?
