You can not be selective about which bits of your vehicle are legal.
At our meeting, 'Reg Local' discussed how there's a road near him with a 30mph limit opening up to an NSL. He was honest enough to admit that he deliberately speeds up in the 30mph, to well above it, to prevent those who would overtake him before the NSL from doing so.
He explained his reasons and although some agreed with him, there were others concerned that an ex-plod, responsible for enforcing absolute laws, admitted to deliberately breaking those same absolute laws.
Its the same with the number plate; the idea that his wife buying it for his birthday making it acceptable is laughable.
That aside, it was a good evening and there was some interesting information, particularly on the KSI and how small an injury can be and still make it onto the KSI list (broken wrist, broken rib etc.). The data on accidents seriously makes you question the emphasis on some of the so called road safety initiatives, including speeding, using the phone, etc.
