Hi guys,

has anyone any input into above, if I put mine in the' correct' position on my screen it can obstruct my vision on the nearside (lefthooker) so have taken to fixing it on the passenger side, wot do you think plod will make of my explanation?

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.

1st hand reply from traffic officer.
disc can be displayed anywhere, as long as its valid and in view.

Section 33 Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 - level 1 fine - fixed
penalty offence - summary offence
It is an offence for a person to use or keep on a public road a vehicle
which is required to be licensed unless a current licence for that vehicle
is fixed to and exhibited in the manner prescribed (below).

Regulation 6 Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2002

The licence shall be fixed to the vehicle protected from the weather and
clearly visible in daylight from the nearside of the road and exhibited :-

. Solo Motorcycles, Motor Tricycles and Invalid Vehicles,

- on the nearside of the vehicle,

. Motorcycle with Side-car,

- on the nearside of the handlebars of the motorcycle or on the nearside
of the side-car,

. Vehicles with windscreens extending across the front of the driver to
the nearside,

- on or adjacent to the nearside of the windscreen

So is adjacent the offside

I'll tell him he's wrong !

no, wait, you tell him - I'll probably end up with points for something lol !

And is he your tailor too?

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!
