lol thats what we got told too, apperntly vosa will be able to stop and issue you fines without police present.

Weve been told that we have to carry spare bulbs just in case.

Yep, sits on the pass side. Is just kinda readable.

The reason they get funny about it being on the front (and also why they get shirty about sticker plates) is because they supposedly aim the laser gun at the numberplate to check speed readings. As officially its the only reliable flat, forward facing surface on the front of a car.

Mind you, if your average traffic wooden top can reliably hit an object as small as that from distance on a moving target, they should all have been recommissioned as army snipers, and we'd have been out of Afghan years ago lol

I got my class1 in 1996. i've always had a bag full of spare bulbs when driving a wagon... it should be law for car drivers too
