I was focussing on you because you responded to my posting with "It is actually a law @J.R.. " and thereafter evaded giving any clarification or details when asked, I see you now describe it as "updated instructions" so we are in agreement.

 

You say my focus should be on the people that treat the law with contempt, at the risk of going round in circles what law would that be?  Nothing in the thread had spoken of people treating the law (I presume you men the law in general) with contempt and I am very very dissapointed with your closing comment, it is totally unnecessary and without foundation, not what I expected of a moderator that has well earned  my respect over the years.

You are correct - this does seem to be going round in circles and concentrating on things that, even though I have previously answered, will endeavour to clarify.

 

1. I have at various times above called having the UK letters on numberplates, law, rules, legislation and updated instructions. The latter quote does not convey any agreement though. They were all used for your benefit but I still say 'law' is the correct one.
2. I'm sure that you have access to Google to be able to search for details and clarification just as much as I have. Maybe also search for information saying it isn't the law too as that would move the onus to you?
3. Regarding the law quote, I don't mean in general - I specifically mentioned you stating that you had never had a GB plate - here 'because in 40 years or driving UK reg vehicles in Europe I have never once had a GB plate, a GB or whatever plate that was legal yesterday will still be legal tomorrow, next year and ad infinitum no matter what political message the UK government is trying to convince you to  display.' Therefore you saying it was 'totally unnecessary and without foundation' is not quite right.

I don't wish this to become a tit for tat exchange so can we please leave it here - unless you find substantive proof either way then I will be glad to view it. 👏
