• Brand new Mini - Driving on trade plates - Stopped by police 27 Jul 2014 (Forum)
  Hi people, this morning I was stopped by a traffic officer whilst on road test as part of a PDI on a brand new unregistered Mini. He said I was committing an offence by not displaying a number plate even though I was displaying a valid pair of trade plates front and rear. Does anybody have any thoughts on the validity of this claim as this would have big ramifications for moving new/unregistered cars around.
