Hi all,
Can anyone give me the real world low down on number plates from a MOT / Plod pov please?
e.g. We are supposed to get them from an 'Registered Number Plate Supplier' and show them particular documents etc and that the plates themselves must conform to all the relevant spec (size, colour, font, spacing) and display the suppliers name / logo / postcode and the BS mark etc.
However, there are many suppliers out on the net who will supply plates that seem to be marked correctly but where you don't have to supply all the docs so whilst I'm guessing they wouldn't be 'approved', how could that (when they are used legitimately etc) ever be an issue?
I can see the spirit of the intention re restricting the manufacture of number plates via only 'registered suppliers' but are they shutting down non-registered suppliers (and if not, what is the point of all the rules etc)?
Just interested minds etc. ;-)
Cheers, T i m
