Scenario:

Your 2 year old daughter has just been hit by a car, she's now lying on the floor barely breathing and they're driving off.

You call police and they ask

"Whats the reg number of the veh making off sir?"

"um... i cant read it, its tinted!"

Fair enough, but be prepared to get pulled over for your plates.

I don't know how tinted they are or how 'wrong' they look but given that (as an example) many motorbikes have undersized plates and never get pulled for it, then I'd suspect, after 7 pulls, there's something about yours that Plod really don't like?

If I was getting regularly pulled for something, I'd change it so it didn't happen again but, each to their own...
I'm not really bothered about them pulling me it's how rude they are thinking they can control me . It's about once a month they pull me for last 8 months . My plates don't look wrong just different

How tinted are they? If they are like this then no wonder you get pulled as you can't read it

As I said in first comment my plates meet all legal standards apart from tiny postcode and tiny bs number so I don't understand your point

Again opinion
I must be stupid as in my life as it stands I owe no money to anyone for anything and I mean anything are you too stupid to have dept that's my opinion
Not opinion - FACT

Just look at your post again for a prime example of stupidity, it doesn't even make sense.

One day you'll stop behaving like a petulant child..One day.

You don't understand my point? ... are you thick or just stupid?

What i'm saying is that some plates (not all!), like the one posted earlier in this thread are very difficult to read therefore police will not be too fond of them.

Post a picture of your plate so we can see then.

Are you thick or stupid as I have said before my number plates meet all legal standards apart from the postcode and bs number so that means my plates are legal in every shape or form apart from the post code and bs number do you understand now

Your choice then, personally I'd be very uncomfortable being pulled every month on the basis that sooner or later it'll end badly, so prefer to stay under the radar.

I'm not entirely sure I see your point OP.

Number plates in order to be legal must comply with the prescribed requirements. You have chosen not to comply. Fair enough, thats your prerogative. So, why come on here moaning that you keep getting a tug from the boys in blue?

There are several solutions to your predicament:

- Swap out the plates to normal boring legally compliant ones
- Challenge it in court
- Keep doing what you are doing and 'stick it to the man'

I don't do anything wrong to stay under the radar , don't speed as I hate stone chips and the police don't really bother me , they never spoil my day or make me feel angry unless they are holding other motorists up because they have forced me to stop where others can't pass but that's ok because they are police and no one can stop them , do what they want

Well done. I also have no debt AND I haven't been pulled over by the law monthly, so I much be way cleverer than you.

I'm all for not blindly accepting authority, but it's better to pick battles you can win...

There's a really, really simple answer to this conundrum....

I'm intrigued though, why would you want it to look like you have a permanently dirty number plate?

Regarding whether it's legal or not, as it's a relatively new fad I imagine it will be legislated against in quick order.

How do you know you can't win unless you fight
