bolt the middle of the P plate to your number plate, on both sides

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 )

a lot of the time at work i get pulled over for rbt and they wil either just get me to count dont bother getting licence or just tell me to drive on cause im in a security car but then u some times get the noobs that havent been in it for long and will write a ticket for no p plates even though u have 4 sets in the car ( like who has 4 sets unless they plan to use them ) its all bout the luck of the draw me and my mate got pulled over for 130 both went either side of him on the f3 mind u i was on red ps and had none on and got let off with a warning
