the bear Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 The car I have just bought has a stick on rear plate and no spare wheel fitted. The number plate does not have a number plate light, the guy i bought it off says he had never been stopped because of it and that it ahd past it's last two MOTS without it. I have the spare and the carrier although I am not sure if it complete. How do I stand legally on the no spare and no number plate light issues? If I have to fit the light is there any alternatives than the nasty looking beast on the carrrier? Mal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky2971 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Hi Mal your ok with the spare as by law you dont have to carry one (I dont just a tin of tyre-weld) Ive been stopped before for not having a No. plate light (not on westy though) and by rights it should be a fail come mot time...but maybe the tester came over all star stuck by not working on a boring tin top for a change and 'forgot' I removed my carrier etc and still havent got round to wiring one up as I also dont like the lights Ive seen if you find anything let me know all the best Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
