Aye, did cross my mind, though they had my reg and details in the first 2 minutes.
They had looked up the vehicle and your details before they got out the car.

it is not safe for me to drive it home in the dark so officially I need to leave it.
One upman ship on your daddies yacht!.....in my Cessna. Oooh ark at you!
just kidding, however you’ve just dealt a top hand in top trumps....I’m out!
Try this one My Honda cub has a 83 plate but built in 69My 101 forward control is an odd one.
The plate says 1982. But it's got tax exemption as I proved it to have an earlier build date. However the DVLA won't give it a plate displaying it's true age... Which I thought was illegal (having a plate that makes a vehical seem younger than it is)
As for colour...
It would have had a black plate when new (millitary). It's now got a yellow plate. But an 82 plate... On a 78 build.
So, what do you think? Can I fit a black plate or not? (I'd like to)
Where’d you get the front plate from need one for mine;i find the number plate rules quite black and white....
I think its great how I can legally fit a bacon slicer to my bike to disembowel pedestrians brave enough (or deaf enough) to cross my path.....
I have silver plates on my Beemer, it is a 1972 bike but nor registered til 1974, which I understood was legal as the rule went by manufacture date from 2015, if a vehicle is over 40 years old it can use black/silver plates:
I got mine from Tricor Andy https://www.tricor-andy.com/?post_type=product&s=+front+plateWhere’d you get the front plate from need one for mine
Transgression or not of the law, at least the black & silver plates can be read. Absolutely amazed at the number of personalised or plates “doctored” to read someones name, which clearly don't conform to the required standard. How do they pass the MOT test & how often are they stopped by the Police

I have / had that. (the book not the Personal plate )I blame the 1970s 'I-Spy' book of number plates.
I saw another local one on a new Audi.

You didn't read the post correctly .
What I said was that if your number plate doesn't conform to Construction and Use regulations, (and almost all motor vehicles are covered by them, not just lorries), your vehicle isn't legal. If it were, why does it say " You could be fined up to £1,000 and your vehicle will fail its MOT test if you drive with incorrectly displayed number plates" in GOV.UK?.
Have a read, all the requirements are in there. And while I doubt that anyone has ever had an insurance problem due to illegal plates, the simple fact is that a condition of motor insurance is maintaining a vehicle in a roadworthy condition.
If you're happy to drive a vehicle which has illegal plates fitted to it, be my guest. But if ever you run into me I'll make it known to the Police and the insurers that your vehicle doesn't conform to C&U regs.
From my information, Insurance is covered by torte the most exacting form of contract law. Slightest deviation from the contract can lead to the contract (Insurance) being declared null & void. Insurance companies often gloss over minor errors in disclosure but I wouldn’t count on it.Can't be bothered to search out a reference, But I've read somewhere that once an insurance company has accepted your money and hasn't cancelled your policy, they are bound to cover you to minimum legal requirements for road use for the car on the policy.
Whatever the state of your driving or the state of your car, even if you were economical with the truth with them.
