Defect notice for cars on trailers ??

[sambo]

Fair enough but the photo has clearly been manipulated and we're yet to hear from anyone pinged during this supposed blitz or see a first hand account on a public forum. It makes the police look bad and does nothing for the goodwill that we work hard to keep with the authorities.

Those police cars look more like the "hoon cars" that they're trying to deter
and to justify their up keep just issue a few infringements here and there for anything .
Anyway be warned lads -- the government is watching your every move

Look within the Road Use Management Act 1995.
A registered car CAN be issued with a defect notice at ANY time!!!!.......

A police officer, or the Authority, may inspect a registerable vehicle (whether or not on a road or road related area) for the purpose of deciding its identity, condition or the status of any registration or permit relating to the vehicle.

...and any vehicle which is being towed by a Registered tow truck is exempt from requiring registration.

So, I have 2 unregistered (but formerly registered) projects in my garage, and if the local Boys in Blue wanted to they could fine me for them being unroadworthy?

Can I stil urinate on the left hand drivers wheel of my buggy, or is law no longer on the books

Smokey, the way I'm reading it from the posts it seems that if the car is "currently registered" - that being with rego plates and current rego sticker attached you may be open to being pinged.

If you have 2 cars in your garage that are currently "unregistered" - that being not with either of the above plates/sticker, then I don't believe you will fall into the above category and are free to pee on as many LH front wheels as you like.

The devil is in the detail but it goes both ways in that if you were to inform the Authority that the vehicle was in fact unregisterable they would then have no cause or in fact right to view the vehicle on private property!!

..without the appropriate paperwork or your authority!!"

"By the laws of England, every invasion of private property, be it ever so minute, is a trespass. No man can set his foot upon my ground without my licence,but he is liable to an action, though the damage be nothing ... If he admits the fact, he is bound to shew by way of justification, that some positive law has empowered or excused him."

"'The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail - its roof may shake - the wind may blow through it (NOT EVEN THE BIG BAD WOLF) - the storm may enter - the rain may enter - but the King of England cannot enter - all his force
dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement.' So be it - unless he has justification by law.

"The principle applies alike to officers of government.....


Again on a trailer as in the OP...plates and rego label you are indicating the car is in fact registerable in its current form...remove both of these and be steadfast in Stating the car is unregisterable in its current Livery you will not have an issue!!

Guaranteed a ticket if your pi$$in in line of sight!!!
