No plate

[ted]

Got my log book back with the new reg number

on and just ordered the new plates in old legal fronts 305x75mm (12x3 inch) rear 203x152mm (8x6inch)

[Alic]

where did you get your front plates from?

[ted]

Plates for cars you make your own up as mines a jap car the rear should fit like a glove instead of the motor bike rear plate that's cut down a bit to fit

[Alic]

Oh, i was just looking for import plates and couldn't find those ones. ty

[Gaz 300]

I get mine from Showplates they will have your plates posted out to you in a few days and do any size.

That rear plate looks a bit dodgy Ted.

And yet...

 

 

Your own front plate wears similar spacing, Joel ;) :tt2:

 

Ted's rear plate, though: definitely asking for trouble with that one!

If this was QI, the klaxon would be going off and the lights would be flashing [emoji1]

 

I refer you to The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) (Amendment) Regulations 2002 (2002 No.2687): http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2002/2687/pdfs/uksi_20022687_en.pdf

 

The amendment that reflects import Z32's is 14a (Section 5(2)). It details the legal requirement for the spacing/sizing/font requirements of the registration display and as per that, mine is legal. [emoji41]

 

I also have an email from the DVLA stating that if my registration markings conform to this amendment, then they are indeed legal. I carry these documents around in my glovebox.

Touche. Although all I actually stated is that yours and Ted's front plates have similar spacing (meaning no 2 separate groups of characters)... I didn't comment on the legality of them. Cue your own klaxon there...? :thumbup1:

 

However, I'd have been almost certain that your plate should be divided into 2 groups of characters (presumably J30 LYP) which should surely mean that you're missing a separation space between 0 and L...? Unless, of course, your actual registration is J30LYP in which case I'll take a double helping of humble pie :biggrin:

 

EDIT: Nope, a check on DVLA shows your reg as J30 LYP so I'm genuinely baffled as to how your front plate is strictly legal.

Scaling may be a bit off, but you look like you are edging it a bit to me.

Aha, but have a read of the amendment? The groups within the amendment are assumed to have the 2 groups of letters divided vertically (on 2 lines), but nowhere does it state that you have to do that. There is no directive in 14a which states horizontal spacing between groups (unless you have a UK car).

 

[Mondo]

Some loophole, that!

[Joely P]

Very much so, it's a bit grey and down to interpretation, but I think I stand a fighting chance when/if I eventually get pulled over for it, I'll let you know!

So I'm fine now Joel if I use this on the back not happy about that

[Alic]

Might be worth checking the width its supposed to be, the one i have is quite alot wider and fits the entire plate window.

Been on this plate for past 9 months!
