The new Road Traffic Act (comes out in September 2007) states that 'All riders of two wheeled mechanically propelled vehicles MUST display the vehicles registration mark to the front when ridden on a road or any place that the public has access to on payment or otherwise. If no front index plate can be fitted, a standard 20cm x 10cm white sheet will be fitted to the riders headgear showing the vehicles' correct registration mark.'

This matter is similar to the old Summary offences, which means it can only be dealt with at a Magistrates Court. However, it has a maximum of £5000 fine and/or 6 months imprisonment
