RE: New penalty points from today
they have been giving points for german plates for ages, 2 of my friends have received two points and fine for it (stickers plus not having county written on top and the "d" instead of "irl" )
RE: New penalty points from today
Isn't the licence plate to do with weight restriction plates on HGVs?
RE: New penalty points from today
