Tesla 3 this morning that overtook a council lorry between the end of the 30 limit in Dairsie and the roundabout just down the hill - a roundabout that can be taken at high speed when coming the other way and which has a slight curve after it in the opposite direction that Mr Tesla was heading.
There seems to be a split developing among electric car drivers - those that presumably suffer range anxiety and dawdle around at 50ish and those that feel the need to use all of their performance as often as possible, usually in places where they'd be better being more circumspect.

Nope, I was too far back, I had pulled out of a sideroad and was following at a constant distance as we were all doing 30, as soon as he got close to the end of the limit he edged out and then floored it soon after. EDIT. Ahhhhhh, I'm clearly a bit slow this morning  Perhaps I should've posted this in the villains section? |

FA57 COW but on a motorhome of all things ! That reminds me, there’s a CLA near home with the plate FA57 CLA. It’s not, it’s a 4 pot diesel. |

S55HH X on a silver Z4. Seems it failed it's MOT on 10/1 due to those plates and then passed, presumably on properly spaced plates. However, by 17/1 when I saw it, it was back on its git plates.

Range Rover Cunt. Say no more.
Saw a new A7 (I think? Lights very bright and all the way across?) last night. The numberplate was some fucked up version of what I presume they hope looks like SIMON. It was something like SS11MO W. That was how it was spaced...

Spotted this morning in Edinburgh a Tesla Model S taxi with the plate TAX1.
I bet that's worth a few quid.

Anyway, dropped the Fiesta off for service and MoT this morning, passing M1KE D on a Ranger in their car park. During the day I passed YET1 X only it wasn't on a Yeti but one of those MINI 4-wheel drive things. On my way home from the dealer I passed C1 FUN on a 1-series BMW |

R23YCE on a black Rolls Royce Phantom (the modern drophead thing).
Tacky.
EDIT: Except that number is meant to be on a 2009 car with 60k miles, i.e. a Phantom but the car I saw was clearly - having looked them uo - a Wraith convertible.

My youngest will soon be entering the world of private plates, we've bought her one for her 21st, however it will be correctly spaced, I'm really pleased with it.
We call her "Sas" or "Sassy", the beginning of the plate is SA51 and the last three letters are the first three letters of our 5 letter surname.
It is her birthday on Saturday.

That seems to be popular with young lads called Jack. Young lad I used to work with had something daft like J444 AKB on the C class Coupe his dad bought for him.
