Post by: Lord Shagg-Pyle on September 21, 2007, 21:10:37: all number plates have to conform to the British Standard, namely letters and reflective backing, with makers name and postcode on it.
I personally don't have a problem with stick on front plates, but then I ma fairly laid back about most things.
Some of my more 'enthusiastic' traffic brethren may think differently. The plates are there for a reason to enable easy identification if the vehicle is used in crime or involved in an accident. The more cynical of you will say for easier identifying by the Government roadside revenue collection boxes. On that I couldn't possibly comment one way or the other :wink:
As for now front plates on bikes; I think it comes down to the duplicity of the Construction and Use regs, namely having no protruding or sharp edges on the vehicle likely to cuase injury :?
vehicles don't tend to be sharp or pointy, but still cause horrendous injuries if they hit something.

Because when your car gets nicked it'll drive past the ANPR equipped car in the layby and won't get any interest. #-o

Are you the Greeni I'm thinking of then..... in which case why are you cleaning the car surely if the MOT / Tax is due it's time to flog it :lol:

Lotus Horizon video on the web site was a bit of a clue.

Post by: L90OOK on September 23, 2007, 19:15:32: I have a stick on one on the leading edge of my 110 bonnet...only place to put it as I have a tubular winch bumper.
I made it out of the stick on number plate back & No./letters from a motor factor.
Never had anyone question it or fail MOT because of it.
