Ok, some time has passed with me driving with tinted plates on and I finally met the copper who is going to be b@stard about it.
I drove past and alongside various traffic units equipped with ANPR cameras and nothing happened.
This one, no, he's not gonna let it go.
Drove past them two in an X5 last night as I was just about to get on a motorway, with all family on board.
For some reason I looked at them and they looked at me.
Blues and sirens on, turned around, passed all the traffic to get behind me and indicate to pull over.
"Sorry driver, you have illegal plates on. They are too dark". No sh@t(!)
"I'm sorry officer, I was was told they are fine and have all legal markings".
Well, they do but are considered as show plates.
Slap on the wrist this time but took my driving licence to the car, punch in details and warned that, if I'll be stopped again, it's a £100 fine per plate.
Still got the old ones in the boot and said I will change them evening but ordered a new set with all legal markings and up to dvla spec.
First few says I was driving with them in, I was kinda nervous, if I'll get stopped or not.
Later it went away untill now.
Glad I got warning but surely they recorded me in the data base so I'll come up on the system whenever next copper decide to stop me, if tinted plates will be still on.
Getting new ones Wed/Thurs so will slap them on for good.
Will keep tinted ones for meets and shows maybe.
Your choice lads
