The comment came about from an LO when one of the wisecrack drivers said he would remove his plate when using his vehicle for personal use and then he could smoke in his car. Idiots don't just work for the council they get licensed by them

On vehicles over 8 years old we need 2 tests per year but the plate is still for 1 year. |

The plate is not the licence? |

OK, plate/vehicle licence, same thing here over 6 years old, pay £160 (or £240 if less than 2 weeks left) then £75 after 4 months and another £75 after another 4 months |

Our council say if you don't have your plate on your vehicle you have no 'm.o.t' as the plate shows it has a certificate of compliance so unless you have a seperate m.o.t then it's illegal to drive said vehicle |

I dunno, a perverse pleasure perhaps? I aint read too much of the thread, but a license is issued for 12 months by an LA......a coc is issued for 12 months......if a chap removes his plate the car still has a license and a coc....it merely has no plate......if a guy hands back his license.....then thats a different matter. (sorry of the use of the word 'guy', this might come across as sexist, he might be a lady for all i know) CC |
