Hi Steve  I had a problem with mine....the curve on a 928 screen makes it fall off if fitted bottom left...so I asked a friend of mine who is a copper... He said it MUST be to the left of the screen but does NOT have to be lower left... So I fitted mine just above and behind my interior mirror..... if you looked at it quickly you would think its centre top of the screen, but to be legal , I actually fitted it around 1/4 of an inch to LEFT of centre...lol Then I showed him and he said legally thats fine....as long as its to the left of centre... All the best Brett

And the reason for this is that when a UK car is driven (and parked) in the UK it is on the left hand sid of the road and can be easily inspected by an h'officer of the law. |

You dont need road tax, if you get pulled just tell them that you're an easterneuropeanasianfareasternalbaniangaylesbianillegalimmigrantonbenefitssingleparent (all one word) and that seeing as you feel it unnecessary to have a driving licence or insurance you couldn't see the point of road tax either, and anyway it's not your car. He'll let you go because there's too much paperwork involved. Maybe Brett's pal will confirm I'm right....... before I try it! |
