Ive never paid at the pump before but when you choose that option do the staff still authorise the pump or your card authorises it?

Im considering not running front plates when its registered either.

Why would you not run front plates ? Its the law.

Pretty much. I have the DGo plate holder but ive seen 2 people not run a front plate and from what one of them has told me, they have gotten away with it (except for when he went through central london, not a place i would like to drive the car really). Ill always have the front plate in the car and try and see if i can get away with the "sorry officer, it fell off. I need to source stronger glue" excuse.

Anyway, its something im considering. Whether i follow through with it is another thing

Then again it was Liverpool


It's like that in the states as well unless you pay at pump. But last time I went their pay at pump systems are so backward they don't take foreign cards so you still have to in and pay first :roll:


Took mine fine last time I was there. You have to enter your postcode using the multi key system like on an old Nokia phone, and as only numbers. abc would be 1 etc
