Not wishing to be pedantic but I think you will find that it’s “You’re all MASSIVE nerds!” Oh damn, I think your point is now conclusively proven! This thread is so far off topic I’d not even give Bear Grylls much chance of finding the way back.
I love reading the exploits and off-topic and generally insane comments of youse guys! And what a difference a pond of separation makes! Over here, no plate will definitely get you pulled, and depending on the size of the town and how much they use fines to generate revenue, you will probably not get away with the dog ate my tag excuse. Worse though, they'll think they smell pot or beer (or anything else) mixed in with your halitosis, and use that to search you and your bags. And you'll be there 1/2 hour til they run out if they things to charge you with. Not that I'm speaking from personal experience mind you.
Hi Fubie, I am guessing you are telling us what you are trained to do as a Traffic Cop? My experiences with Traffic Police over there is that a) they don't have a sense of humour (usually) and b) they are very 'binary' about right and wrong. I managed to get out of a minor speeding related issue (it was like 0.25 mph over the limit) by showing my drivers license which in those days was a longish piece of official looking paperwork with gibberish on it - i.e. classes of vehicles (just letters), drivers number but nothing they had any clue about or made any sense. When I said I was leaving the next day the officer just said "good" and let me go. Another time I was lost and stopped to ask a cop directions. I am guessing that people don't do that much over there... As I approached the cop went for his gun and was baffled when I started being polite and asking their advice!
