We have all been busted by coppers with the ruler tellin us how small the plate is and how BIG it should be but does anyone know the law on mounting of the plate i have looked on the net and its fairly vague
“Number Plates must be easy to read and meet the British Standard” see, i mean do they have to be 90 degress to the road or what??? the reason i ask is I have a very nice number plate brackett that manually hinges the idea is to ride with it visible but hard to read, and i ponder on the reaction to the police???
There is a regulation yes, the most obvious case of manufacturers having to meet this regulation is the 2006 R6 numberplate. It sticks out the way it does due to some regulation on height and angle, I believe. I don’t know the specifics though. I suspect the DVLA website will prove a bit more useful.
Also, having a fold-up plate like that R1’s will get you busted quick-sharp, they really don’t like that, as it shows intent to deceive or something, bad news whatever the classification.
