Hi, i recently bought a private plate directly from DVLA site, they have sent me the v750 and last week i took it along with the other documents to a local DVLA office, and they gave me back a new tax disc with new plate number on it, and the green slip of v5 with new reg and stamped, and a new copy of my MOT certificate with new reg on it. I i am not sure if i'm suppose to put the new plate till i receive confirmation letter with new v5 + tax disc from DVLA. But if i ring insurance company and change reg with them and drive it with new plates on where is the problem since i already have been isssued with a new tax disc? and if i get stopped is it an offence? what could…

I have lived in Spain for the past 11 years and when I was back in the uk in 2003 I did a pretty dumb thing and took my sisters car to the local shop,uninsured. To top it all off I wasn't wearing a seatbelt either and that's the reason why I was pulled over. Because I live in Spain and was due back 5 days later I told the officers this in the back of their car so they had to arrest me. The only thing I had on me was my passport which one officer took from me at the station and went into the back for a few minutes before returning. I was then interviewed and had to appear in court 2 days later. Fair play.it was a stupid mistake,I paid the £200+ fine the day after a…

I was given a "producer" or HORT/1 a few weeks ago for not having insurance doc's on me. (My car was covered on company insurance but did not show up on the police database as it was new to me) I went into my local station with the documents requested where the officer behind the desk checked my insurance and filled out a HORT/2 form. What happens now? Is the matter closed or do I need to go back to the station again at some point? Also, I was not given any receipt for providing my insurance, I am concerned about this as I know it is an offence if you don't produce in 7 days (which I did), but I have no paperwork to prove this. Any help appreciated.

I know nothing on the subject and was just hopping some one could point me in the right direction for some information from a manufacturing point of view. Are there restrictions on who can and how they go about manufacturing such weapons? Also if some one could point me at the office guidelines on the requirement of such weapons them self that would be a great help. Thanks in advance.

I am writing to make a complaint over a parking ticket my partner received, we parked in a car park behind a pub and did not notice the sign saying we were not allowed to park there, on arrival we noticed a police officer arriving at the same time he did not point out that we should not park there, we left the car for 5 minutes to go into blockbuster when we came back we had a ticket ordering we paid £60, i think this is a disgrace as if we had have known we would not have left the car there for just 5 minutes to have to pay that amount. the officer obviously just waited for us to walk out to give us the ticket which is very unfair. some people will do anything to screw …
