The Court of Cassation agreed with a manufacturer of license plates which estimated that the sellers of stickers offered non -approved elements.
We no longer count the verbalized motorists for having used a sticker on the end of their license plate.The fine for "circulation of a motor vehicle with a non -compliant license plate" is € 135, but if the driver persists, the fine is increased and goes to € 750.
And to drive the point, this is a decision of the Court of Cassation which confirms the illegality of the thing.In accordance with the highway code, the judges made a verdict without surprise: only approved manufacturers can provide license plates.
A plates manufacturer had indeed seized justice to denounce the sale of plates stickers.Beyond the legislative aspect, there was obviously a commercial issue: for a motorist, it is easier and less expensive to buy a plate sticker than to buy a pair of plates.
The manufacturers of these stickers tried to specify that they too had a commercial and social issue (the argument of the principle of "freedom of commerce" was swept by the judges), it was not: no'Sticker on a plate, says the Court of Cassation.It doesn't matter if it's just to change the department by another (remember that it is possible to choose any department on your plate), you will have to change your plates.
