Red car-1 point Yellow car-2 Points......and so on such as snookers balls colour/points. b*****ds. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dinosaurs 2,112 Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Got pulled over on my motorbike couple of years back coz plate was black with silver lettering & no’s. Copper tried convincing me it was for-my own good as if bike got nicked it wouldn’t register on anpr cameras etc I stupidly told him he was talking bollox as when he pulled me over all my details inc that i held fire arms license were being relayed over car radio & as he never got within 30 yds of me before he put on blues & twos So he could clearly see plate!!! I had to change plate or fined & he reckoned 3 points??!!! Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atb He told my Mrs that ! well she don't give a toss if the Motor is nicked ! all that that means to Her is she gets a new one that's Clean ! all she is bothered about is all the Drama , there is no need for it , I think that Richmond police should spend a Week in Leicester City Centre to learn Whats What .
