Are they legal and why do you want one, nothing to do with speed cameras is it?

Too late.... seen it.
Non legal so a £30 fixed penalty and an MOT fail these days if the testing station is going by the book.
TBH having a flip plate is more likely to get you stopped than an undersize one... it kinda gives out a message if you get my drift.

As an MOT tester i fink u will find they ARE legal providing the said no plate is held in a fixed vertical postion and correcty sized and spaced and is unlikely to be misread ie.letters misformed,as far as an MOT is concerned it can be pink with blue writing .However it may be against construction and use witch is a different ball game altogether!!!!

As Dell-boy said a flip up plate would be better.

Mood: R U thinking what I'm thinking?......Oh dear!
A flip up/down number does appeal but I can see where the "authorities" are coming from. I'd be interested to know what "legit" reasons you could give to the PD for fitting such a setup, doubles as flan flinger for tailgating motorists???

I thought all new Plates had to be BS marked now to be legit for road use and new ones had the carry the postcode of the company that made them up?

The "for show use" loophole is big enough to get a fully dressed goldwing through though

Anyone fancy an Aston Martin with revolving plates!!

Ray.
