I had a nice policeman knock on my front door around 6 months ago saying he had passed me the week before and made a note of my number plate so that he could follow it up and he had only just had the time to do it. Told me i needed to get it changed as its too small. I was off to Bristol later that day so was going to do it when i got back from business. BUT... once i got on the M2 in Kent i was pulled over and givn a fine for the plate by another plod, and when i tried telling him that the copper who had just called at my house said i had a week to get it changed he just smirked and said i'm not that nice...you have to do it now!!
What he did say was that he was taking photos of the number plaste and sending them to the DVLA to examine and that i should expect a letter from them saying that i will need to re-register the car and wait for a new registration number to be allocated, thus meaning i would need to change insurance, tax etc
........Needless to say i never did get that letter but have put the old plates back on now
