Following on from the Merseyside Police who entered a lease last year.

It just shows how they are thinking of what comfort they want to afford to the crims they are transporting to the nick...

Diesel or Petrol Steve? (do you know)

[Surferdude]

How come you have a white plate on the front and a yellow one at the rear.

Also, have they "debadged" the tailgate?

It's the law.

They're the law.

Official proof that stripes on a car makes it go faster.

They recognise quality when they see (& a cheaper lease)

But why?

So that at a glance (especially at night) you know whether it's the front or the back of a vehicle you are looking at.
It's a bit like we have white reflectors on the RHS on guide posts and red reflectors on LHS guide posts.
Not a bad idea really.

I've always found the headlights or tail lights are a dead giveaway.

However, the way the poms park on either side of the road regardless of direction of travel probably comlicates things.

True, it does. And I have noticed that with the recent influx of British immigrants we have here, more and more cars are parking that way in Perth too which is a worry. 
Plus there are lots of British accents on TV commercials now.

I think it's illegal in Oz to park the wrong way around. 

[Doggie 1]

It is but I see more of it these days.
Now, back in my day it wouldn't have happened !! 

[Surferdude]

I think it's illegal in Oz to park the wrong way around. 

It is. And for a perfectly logical reason. The reflectors are built into the tail lights so they'll show up early in the glow from approaching headlights on a dark street.

Which is what different coloured reflective rear number plates do too

OK. I didn't know they were reflective. Haven't noticed it on my trips to the UK.
Both front and rear plates are reflective in Queensland - strong enough to read between headlights on low beam.

[Doggie 1]

I actually think the Poms have it right. I agree with different coloured number plates front & rear.
I remember back in (I think 1966 or 1967) in W.A. when we changed from white on black plates to black on white plates, supposedly for safety reasons too.

How do you guys get home after a night at "The High & Dry Tavern", at least I know which side of the road to drive on. BTW

I just take a bus.
Then it doesn't matter which side of the road I drive on.

Try posting this again in the tavern thread and someone sober enough to realise you posted this in the wrong thread might explain.............

[Phil №❶]

No it's in the right thread Alan, we're talking about you guys parking your cars all over the place in any direction. It's  but that's where I spend my time when the tavern is closed. I see you're here now, so is the Tavern open

I'm too busy in the Tavern to read your question............

How did you obtain that information? The MID database will give whether a vehicle is insured...ostensibly to the owner or "authorised" enquirers.  DVLA sells registered owner information to those prepared to pay.

Too much personal data is available far too easily despite the Data Protection Act and   DVLA should not be able to sell information to anyone wiling to pay.

[AlanHo]

Shambles is prohibitied from telling you how he obtains such Data Protected information because he is a member of the CIA (Covert i30 Association)

[Shambles]

How did you obtain that information?

The plate colours make it easier for the ANPR to work, so I believe

It is here still but this seems to have been ditched.
