Number Plates
Rich_P:
We've used a sticky on the caravan for years, never had any problems so far...
Damonski:
I suppose previously the MOT tester could let it go through, I know my Citroen CX has because of its Isle-of-Man formatted numberplate. The last test the guy said the format of the plate suited the vehicle so he passed it :)
I suspect now the computerisation of it wont allow that anymore.
TimM:
Testers (or at least most of them) will have used a little common sense in the past i.e.
"can I read it from 10 paces" or similar.
MOT fails would have been for people taking the p*** such as using carefully placed screws to alter letters or using a font which makes it unreadable.
Will the computerisation change this though :?
Ja1983:
if you can read it from 20ft stood square to the front it should pass. 20ft been the eyesight requirement for driving test i believe?
if its actually on the flat of the bonnet looking skyward, then i recon someone will not be pleased!
easy way, ask a policeperson and an MOT tester :wink:
