Num. Plate on Bonnet Legal?
Is an adhesive number plate stuck on the leading edge of the bonnet legal or will it get me tugged every 5 minutes??
|
i had one on an old astra gsi turbo 92 i had due to the FMIC but failed its mot and got pulled due to it not reflecting in headlights.
If its not standard the cops hate it! |
It will be fine if you put it onto a taxi style sign which holds it up :D :D :D

technically not legal as the plate must be vertical to be legal. odd rule I know but very true. |
OK, sounds like Im moving my plate over to the side then, evo styleee...its blocking my FMIC ATM.

Might help
Cant find anything that says it has to be mounted upright.
Know it has to be visible from a certain distance for MOT reasons. But in this CCTV recognition days most cameras are mount to the fixed front end so may be this is why. Found this might help The Law - Number plates |
Govement rules

Car passses MOT so Road legal so Car goes up the road and fails a Regulation :rolleyes: The Car cannot be both legal and illegal, A good laywer could very well argue that case but it's the cost :mad: most peeps just change them or pay the fixed penalty. Just to save the hassle

The front plate can be fixed in the windsreen ;) it only has to be front Facing and no other stipulation. but the rear has to be Iluminated and is a height restiction on that. The regs have been changed quite a few times since 2000 and depends on how retrospectively they can apply the Regs ;) if you have the Plates like mine since 2000 they don't have a BS number and moved onto my 3 other newer Cars are they legal? Tony PS not a real laywer just an internet one ;) so IIRC AFAICR etc etc. :D |

I cannot understand why you want a bonnet mounted number plate :confused: they are so old fashioned :rolleyes:
The best style plate is the type I have, black background with silver raised lettering, my rear one is square. They look fantastic :thumb: Carb Uncle |
as long as your digits can be read clearley and not italic an in the standard font an size its ok
there is nothing in the MOT hand book:notworthy that says it has to be uprite so you should be fine |
had mine on for over a year now and have not been pulled over yet.
