we get question after question about number plates now just a very very quick fire thing here on what’s legal and what’s not now this very small pile here are legal ones and you can see that they are the correct spacing they’ve got the bsau 145e um you have got raised lettering there for a 3D gel plate and you’ve got raised lettering there for the 4D plates so you can have that but what you cannot have is any colors or like carbon effect like that in your raise lettering you can’t have the colors that you can see there like the red or the blue um so yes you can have raised letters but you can’t have colors you can’t have carbon effect you can’t have tinted plates okay because they won’t meet the reflectivity that is required for 145e uh and you can’t miss space the plate to spell your name or anything like

And no rude number plates either
Why cant you have the tiny coloured lines round the letters when its all black with a tiny coloured line ?????
But the roads can be 3rd world and dangerous
What a waste of oxygen
Maybe, but who is enforcing these rules?
Never ever seen anyone pulled for a plate where they have joined and made own names up miss spaced even tho its chav tastic
I saw a reg plate that had pale pink background but the letters was black and spaced out correctly, is that legal or not?
What a load of bollocks
For a country that is so highly regulated it's odd that the plates aren't just a standard issued by the state.
He means to say, it's harder for the cameras to fine you if the plates are not standard.
The UK is such a Bore!
Stopping illegal plates is apparently more important than stopping illegal immigrants.
What is the new law for number plates from 1st September?? Please let us know.
"bad boy" </3
I wish they had covered screw/fixing placements ( and caps) as the law changed and my new plates don't match the screw placements of the originals so annoying
Do they need to say bsa 415 number on it?
If number plater are The property of the dvla and we are just being allowed to use them, Then it their responsibility and should issue the appropriate number plate every time they issue a registration number..
I know civil servants like to ever complicate things and to the point where they're confused themselves but Jesus Christ just think a little… Think of all the time and money the would be saved and the police didn't have to explain all this nonsense to every driver.. If it's not DVLA it's illegal simple..
PS I Don't think it's right that the dvla advertise number plates with misrepresented letters placing IE to spell someones name and then could take it back off you for displaying it how they advertised it?… (and then sell it again)
That plate “8055 O” is not illegal. 8055 is one complete number, it has the requisite 30mm spacing after it then the Letter “O”. This is registration from before 1963 – the copper being so knowledgeable should know that. However, police are not infallable fonts of all knowledge and I was once questioned about my 1959 plate featuring 4 numbers and two letters – perfectly legal.
how the hell is top left is legal, theres not even a number plate there lol… its just letters
Yet you don’t pull anyone over with these illegal plates 😂
Is glow in the dark 4D number plates legal
This information is great except you can't have this and that as I see hundreds of them every day and seen some the same regular when working in my taxi so the police can advise but are they doing anything and the answer is NO
This is why we hate some UK Laws
Why would you want an illegal number plate I don't understand
It really doesn't matter. The police do absolutely nothing about illegal plates.
Oh go do your job.
If that's the case why do I see so many tinted, 3d with colours and mis spaced plates?
Can you have 4D gel number plate with the 4D union jack
