I believe if the car is state owned then they dont need number plates its only private and company vehicles that are required to have number plates
(basically eveything exept the queens / royals stuff) so maybe the state own the aston I could be wrong but that was my understanding of it. Must make
taxing it online tricky!

None of them had tax disks anyway. Do they need insurance?

Regardless of whether the car's state owned or not, I imagine there's a dispensation so that his number plate wasn't on display to
the billions of people round the world watching on TV.
Very nice car though!

Had to laugh at the wishy-washy Beeb commentary at that point... "and isn't it nice to see them out and about without any
security".
I'm guessing you've not noticed the whacking-great Range Rover driving 3-feet behind them with a PPO and 3 back-up!
Or all the armed uniforms standing between them and the crowd!

doubt it will be insured.
I'm pretty sure you only need insurance if you cant afford to pay up to £Xm.
The state can.

The state under-write themselves.
As do large companies for their prototype/testing cars.

bottom line is... Hes in line for the thrown, its his wedding day. Who honestly gives a flying F that he has that rear number plate? Surely there are
more important things to moan about

I heard it referred to as RR1 and with the high windows etc. it's one of the Queen's cars. ISTR that the monarch is the only person in the
UK not required to display a registration plate, so there was no problem there.

They all drive themselves when they want to. There were photos some years ago of the Queen attending a shoot - she looked a right scruffy mess and
drove herself there in a series Landrover. You've got to give her respect for that.

The car is taxed, if you watch the footage, you can see the tax disk. I suspect its marked as a special car & therefore doesn't come up when
you do a tax disk search.
I thought it was absolutely fabulous and like many things yesterday loved it. I wish them all the happiness & hope they have a long and happy life
together.
and on Tuesday I'm putting money on Harry getting to know Pippa

The Queen can use a vehicle with blank number plates but should still have them.The charge for not having any at all would be a civil offence, not a
motoring one, of avading prosecution or perverting the course of justice. I'm not sure that those two had any intentions of causing
trouble....
And the road traffic acts applies to 'public places'. I'm pretty certain that closing the roads and lining them with barriers and
security would make the roads fairly unpublic.
Not wearing the seat belts in the Aston? Was it fitted with any? Or did it have lap belts? Either way, I couldn't give a toss.
The only thing that would have been cooler than the Aston would have been for them to leave on the Ducati one the back wheel with her dress up round
her armpits as that's what happens if you pillion insists one wearing a dress........(he won't do that again)

I wouldnt think that it is in the best interest of royalty to have people able to access certain information so woul not be accesible via DVLA, the
car did not require seat belts due to its age and it would also be tax exempt, it would carry a tax disc if ths where the case.
I see no one picked up that it had been converted to run on unwanted wine lol
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

Government vehicles do not have insurance. If your government cannot afford to pay for repairs in case of a prang by a royal, you have bigger problems
than that!
