Ok. But it’s not compulsory to have a green flash plate on an EV and you can still get those benefits? It’s the number and the registration at Swansea that provides the authorisation not the green flash.
It's £100 fixed non endorsable, they are thinking of making it endorsable.I was just wondering after your post what value of fines people were getting in your area really. It’s been suggested also that you get a £1000 fine for having an illegal green flash on your number plate which seems harsh to me.
Someone who I work with had to prove their vehicle was an EV and entitled to the green stripe after parking in a preferential space in Birmingham and got a ticket issued by a wardenOk.

Good luck with that then because since the turn of the year there has been a real crackdown on them
Say what now?Had it fallen off without me knowing, hassle would have ensued. Gov UK say:
Replace lost, stolen or damaged plates
You can get replacement plates if yours have been lost, stolen or damaged. If your plates were stolen or lost, you must report this to the police.
You have to apply for a full replacement set - you cannot get a single plate to replace a damaged plate for vehicles (excluding motorcycles).
All that effort with your plates to let everyone else know ?One of my neighbours has questionable plates. The spacing is wrong and they have a grey smoke tinge to them but you know when his MOT is due because they get swapped for legal plates.
I believe there's fairly strict laws about number plates which have travelled backwards through time...I’ve moved to 3D and 4D plates - love the look of raised digits.
When I first looked at 3D and 4D plates I thought that they might not be legal. I was surprised to find that they are. The gel 3 and 4D look good I think. Especially if you have a private number.I believe there's fairly strict laws about number plates which have travelled backwards through time...
Good job too!?Moist people aren’t offended by the odd spelling mistake
Good job too!?
You can buy a single plate e.g. if you had a trailer or bike rack that required one. No law to say that you require both.Had it fallen off without me knowing, hassle would have ensued. Gov UK say:

Always poof read you’re reply’s?Opps, that's why you should always poop read your massages before you press send?
Hi Crow, sorry to see you had to deal with such shoddy workmanship, can't see why they didn't use to proper screws or bolts in the two covered holes.I've had my new MG4 for 3 days and the number plate has fallen off. Cheap and nasty (weak) double-sided tape holding it in! Dealer: Glyn Hopkin, Chelmsford.View attachment 15359
