Driving with the wrong plates penalty?

Semple · 4 May 2019 at 10:13

Interested to hear the final outcome as well. It's been almost a month so presumably something would have happened.

vanpeebles · 13 May 2019 at 15:41

I'd love to know as well!

I could ban him until he comes back and tells us?

vanpeebles · 14 May 2019 at 15:13

It sounds only fair

Wonder if an OCUK thread has ever been used in a court of law....

I'm guessing as the buyer doesn't have a driving license yet they're new to driving and didn't check the V5 in detail.

A user on PH found his forum thread used against him in court, so it's not unheard of.

Even though there's nothing linking your online thread to you personally? (or can be made that way).

Ip address is recorded against your posts and the logs can be requested by the courts. That's enough if there's other evidence as well.

If you only posted at work and on a phone, not sure how they would link up. I'm not being difficult I'm just interested to know (and no it's not because I've done something wrong

).

Ban him if he doesn't reply please

I can't recall if he mentioned how they found it, perhaps there was an owners club sticker on the car which the prosecutor found, then started checking the forums for similarly described events within the timeframe of the incident?

Or use a VPN which keeps no logs. There is no way to link one end to the other without control of the proxy. Though never assume anything online is safe

This type of thread never gets an update. Maybe the OP is in jail?

pinkpound · 20 Jul 2019 at 12:02

Its like when a TV show gets cancelled mid season and you never know what happens

Iamzod · 13 Aug 2019 at 22:47

I'm not in Jail lol, completely forgot about this thread until I spotted a comment in a newer thread.

And it's not my issue, I promise, I wouldn't buy a private plate, can't see the point

The outcome was quite boring, no speeding fine turned up and she managed to sort out the plate with the new owner who was a learner & had the car sat unused & uninsured so ended up with it back.

Thread solved

Haha, thanks for the update, but you could have made it more exciting. I was expecting a remake of prisoner cell block h!
