''Vehicles with illegally displayed number plates may FAIL the MoT test.
The police can also issue fixed penalty fines for illegally displayed number plates. Offenders are liable to a FINE of £1,000 and in some cases the mark may be withdrawn..
penalty points can be issued for repeat offenders.''
Glad you can afford the fine...however being a new driver don't you have to take a re-test or something similar if you get 6 points in first 2 years?
