Pay the fine and then get a P plate holder for your car.

or put it in the window of your car

cause then he would be fined for that insted of no plates
rta states p plates must be displayed on the front and back of the car on the out side ( cop tryed talking sh*t bout having it perpendicular to the road but i havent seen it any where on the rta site )
i used to have mine up the very top of my hood lol hardly see it but could argue that it is the front of the car and its not hiden ( they dont say at what angle it needs to be viewed like they do with number plates )

Couldnt of happened to a nicer bloke really
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
