legalities of a stick on number plate
mroxo:
I got a fail on mine last Nov on the MOT due to the new regs. Must be reflective and have bs number printed on it as well as the details of the maker of the plate. Bloody EU interference again :roll:
ian_s:
personally i think its a damn good idea that number plates should be visible and readable.
unless you have something to hide that is
Tommo:
yeah it is. i dont have awt to hide but im no fan of no plate recognition cameras.
these are the plates on my other car...

can't have failed for the last two as this would require everyone with plates made before this requirement came in to change them out for new ones to pass an MOT.

All vehicles registered after 1st Sept 2001 must have plates fitted which meet the new regulations. So they will fail you for the last two items on the previous post.
This is from the MOT testers manual.
3. On vehicles first registered on or after 1 September 2001, check that the registration plates
a. display the name and postcode of the supplying outlet
b. display a BSAU145d marking
c. do not display a honeycomb or similar effect background
4. Refer to pages 4 - 6 and check visually that the characters are correctly formed, spaced, and are not obviously likely to be misread due to, for example, badly positioned or uncovered retaining bolts etc.
The site is here and is very useful as it lists the full MOT testers manual as supplied to testing stations by VOSA. If it isn't in the manual they can't test it or fail it. http://www.motuk.co.uk/manual/contents.htm
