Hello Roy,

On Monday March 30 2009 20:28, you wrote to me:

 RW>>> Yes, that's why I can be stopped for not having one.

 MvdV>> And apparently you are willing to take that risk.

 RW> Yeup...is that as bad a being a pirate and robbing people of their

Changing the subject again are you?

And to answer you question: What you do is worse. The Swedes are not violating
their own laws. You are and by doing it you are compromising road safety.

 MvdV>> I don't buy that. Making two plates only adds the cost of the
 MvdV>> raw material. One has to set the machine for the requyired
 MvdV>> number only once.

 RW> That's something that was quoted on the googled sites with that kind
 RW> of information.

Ah, yes, it is on The Internet, so it must be true.

 MvdV>> Of course it is. A set of plates costs EUR 15,-. for the car
 MvdV>> owner. Production cost probable EUR 5,-. For a car that costs
 MvdV>> 10.000+. C'mon...

 RW> You guys pay too much for those plates...we aren't charged for them.

You may not be charged, that does you mean you don't pay. Of course you pay,in
the end the bill always lands with the end user.

 MvdV>> Peanuts. Besides.. the aluminium can be recycled. Nah

 RW> Nah is right. They don't collect those old plates for recycling.

So what happens with the plates when a car is scrapped? Does the scrap yard
throw them into the sea instead of recycling them?

 MvdV>> , i do not buy that cost argument. The far bigger factor is
 MvdV>> guys like you who prefer no front plate for estetic reasons.

 RW> I'm just trying to save them more money.

Don't give me that crap. You already have the second plate. The money to make
that has already been spend, nothing is saved by not mounting it and let it
gather dust. try your fairy tales on someone else. You don't give a shit about
the cost, you just want to be obtuse.

 RW> In case no one has ever told you, laws are made to be broken.

I will keep that in mind, next time you acuse someone else of violating the
law.


Cheers, Michiel
