Number Plate Rant!
Number Plate Rant!
NOPE.......apparently my front and rear number plates do not conform and ANPR would not pick them up......ABSOLUTE BO**OX, my front was made by Jurgen at JM-Imports and my rear has the British Standards stamp on it FFS! Apparently lettering is too thin and the spacing is wrong front and rear
Judge for yourself guys, front

I'd agree the front plate might look illegal but isn't the rear what an import plate looks like?

Sorry Dan, yes your upset but your plate is wrong and they have every right to pull you and say so - lucky you didn't kick off and talk yourself into a huge fine.

30-05-2019, 10:27 AM #7The rear is illegal, the font and as a result the spacing is wrong - the big give away is the name of the manufacturer and supplier including the post code is missing, making the plate technically illegal and open to £1000 fine. Just like one of my cars:whistling:

The front plate was sold on the understanding that is legal so I shall be speaking with them and getting my ruler out to measure lettering size. Interestingly the officer did not mention font more size and spacing

30-05-2019, 10:57 AM #8I'm not debating the lettering is thinner but to claim that ANPR wouldn't read it i think is rubbish and whilst i'm not ignoring the fact you see a hell of a lot worse with shadowing/italic/stupid fonts etc and ridiculous logo's everywhere.
