Being able to drive those >30km/h is already illegal. IME enforcement of that that is lax.
Still, I hope you took down the plate number(s) and reported it.
The case you’re talking about is a very very small minority and that driver would probably drive a car illegally if they didn’t have access to an (EP)A.
The vast majority of vehicles in this class is unable to go 100km/h.
- kfarr 5y agoMany of the photos from the article show vehicles with no license plate.
- CRConrad 5y agoA few photos show vehicles with no license plate in the rear. You'll notice those vehicles aren't shown from the front, so you don't see the plate they most probably have there -- since that, unlike having one at the rear, is required by law.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoJudging by the article's pictures most of them don't have a rear plate at all so it's probably not required. That would make reporting it a lot more difficult.
- lillecarl 5y agoThey aren't required on the rear indeed, because they're essentially tractors. Which is why you're not allowed rear seats for example. Where would you stick the license plate on a tractor?
- GekkePrutser 5y agoHere all the tractors have their rear license plates mounted on the top of the cab :)
- glitchcrab 5y agoReal tractors are big vehicles - it's not hard to find somewhere to mount a small plate. All road-going tractors in the UK will have both front and rear plates - you can see it in this photo just below the cab: https://www.lantra.co.uk/sites/default/files/course_images/tractor-in-field.jpg https://www.lantra.co.uk/sites/default/files/course_images/t...
- lillecarl 5y agoIt's not entirely uncommon for tractors to be pulling even bigger things which would cover the plates. Different countries different rules, plates on these vehicles would be great anyhow, but I can see why it's not required.
- glitchcrab 5y agoThat's not quite my point - you asked where would you mount a rear plate on a tractor, to which I answered that there are lots of places. If you're talking about the fact that plates can be obscured by large trailers etc then local laws will dictate that there is a plate on the trailer. I guess plates covered by attachments (ploughs etc) are a slightly different case and may obscure the plate.
- Dylan16807 5y ago> It's not entirely uncommon for tractors to be pulling even bigger things which would cover the plates. They're not at a high risk of speeding at the same time as that.
- _ph_ 5y agoIn Germany, any motor vehicle which can go faster than 6kph has to carry some kind of license plate, depending on the category of the vehicle. Even eScooters do. For those, and for slow motor bikes, this is issued by the insurance company, as insurance is also mandatory for any motor vehicle, for most others it is issued by the transport authority.

- 3np 5y agoThey need to have a front-plate due to being classified as tractors. I would find it reasonable to introduce a new requirement for these vehicles (nb: not all tractors) to need a rear plate to make reporting of incidents easier. That being said, I would find it likely that the local police would already be aware of these hooligans and where to find them.
