Number Plate Question

[electricfurnace]

Are blank number plates (no UK sign/border etc) with just your reg letters on legal if standard size?

 

[Greeny.]

Yes, but nothing is 100% legal unless it has the postcode of the company that made it at the bottom of the plate, although I have show plates that have legal digits, spacing and legal (ish) size and ive never had a problem.

that about sums it up reali.

So what ya reckon, will I be stopped for not having a poxy postcode on the bottom of the plate?

What about MOT?

Ta!

 

[m4rkie23]

people on here have passed MOT's, police stop checks etc with the show plates from places like fancyplates.com many times.

even the smaller front plate seems to be fine (which is good, cuz i have one)

As i believe you need the postcode or name of company where its made and a "bs" number

Offences
It is an offence to alter, rearrange or misrepresent letters or numbers in order to form names or words or in such a way that
makes it difficult to read the registration number. Characters must not be moved from one block to the other e.g. AB51 DVL
must not be displayed as AB5 1DVL or AB 51DVL. 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 MAXIMUM
FINE of £1,000 and in some cases the mark may be withdrawn.
For vehicles with new or replacement number plates fitted after 31.8.2001, “3-line” number plates are no longer permitted.
