My mate got find in tesco carpark for his illegal number plates and also told of for his stretched tyres. Hes already payed the £60 fine but i said to him to phone and get it back. I am sure thats not on. Its no public road. They havent seen him drive there or going out. Surely this is taking a curse word.
any experience on this?
thank you

i think that for the purposes of the relevant laws, supermarket carparks and any similar places the public have free access to are now classed as 'public roads'.

I think the law was changed a few years ago when the police were clamping down on cruises so they can,if they want to,do you on car parks and,unbelievably,race circuits. At the time there was a piece in the papers saying they could actually fine an F1 driver at Silverstone for speeding if they wanted too.

They havent seen him drive there or going out. Surely this is taking a curse word. They're the ones taking the "curse word"? Was it airlifted into the car park or did he have pukka plates and he just changed them while it was parked up? There are things that will attract attention from the police, dodgy number plates is of them. Dodgy number plates and stretched tyres would be irresistible.

I'm under the same impression as Dez. Because of public rights of access, they are entitled to enforce the law in a public carpark and the rules of the road apply. You can get some really nice looking legal pressed metal plates or import size ones with a bs mark so that all except the grumpiest pedants would care that they aren't technically correct
