Number Plate Needed - How Quick?

Housey · 2 Oct 2015 at 21:54

Need to attach a trailer to a car tomorrow. Don't have a plate (just remembered I need one) so wondered how easy can I get one from Halfords and what do I need? Using a borrowed car, all above board but just need a rear extension plate for a (loaned) trailer. Can I turn up and get one in 30 minutes?

I think in you need to take proof of ownership of the car with you, i think the V5 will do (even though that's not proof of ownership as it says so right on it..)

Then I hope it has one in the glovebox

You need a v5 and your driving license, we do it on the spot, takes about 10 minutes to make up. I think it's £8.99 per plate? Or something like that.

Just draw one

Unscrew the one on the car and put it on the trailer

Sod it. I am not convinced the V5 is about, it's a BMW my wife borrowed from her office as it has a tow bar on it and I need to tow. I'm insured on it and it's virtually new but will need to dive out to fetch the V5 I suspect.

Be careful towing trailers brand new on loan bmws from work. Sometimes the towbars fall off because they're new.

The trailer hire company made me one up in around 30 seconds in the end, no V5 needed as I'm known to them as is my wife who has put a fair bit of business their way. Race car collected, now sitting in my garage awaiting some hard track use
