Number plates

[amorti]

God that 'car dimension' plate looks aweful!

Bike plates should be rectangular.

Some police just don't seem to care, especially if the font is legible.

But as it is illegal, you always run the risk of running into a cop on specific number plate duty, or in a bad mood etc etc.

More likely is when you go past an ANPR camera, they can't read the plate with it, and stop you. Then you are done by someone who knows what he is on about on account of having been briefed that morning. And that is when you are attempting to pervert the course of justice.

simple fact : its illegal and you take the risk
I dot think anyone is trying to play all high and mighty, but choosing to have a cut-down plate may land you with (correct me if wrong) 3 points and £60 fine (?)

Personally... bought my bike with a letterbox plate (with carbon effect, slim writing), I put the 'original' plate back on, which the previous owner had cut about 8mm off the bottom.
MOT fail.
New plate fitted due to UK rules on how much space needs to be around the letters (as others have said for ANPR etc), never removed plate since (except track days -- where, coincidently the letterbox plate comes in handy in reverse as a blanking plate/tidy).

IMO - Peeps who ride around with italicised, script font text on a diddy plate are asking for trouble </rant>

See my earlier post Rich: It is a non-endorsable offence that carries a £60 fine.
