Mines totally legal and I've never had any problem with it. I think the police round my way are better informed. laugh
Why is your Union Flag surround upside down?
I checked the makers' customers gallery and all other similar flags were up the right way so I'll presume it
was lack of enthusiasm for my design. biglaugh I think the fact it didn't get into the gallery says it all.

National emblems (e.g. country flags) were not permitted by the 2001 Regs. For the next 8 years the only legal dual purpose plate format was this



http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2001/561/regula...

The Regs were amended in 2009 to make it also legal to display the following
(a)an image of the Union flag;
(b)an image of the Cross of Saint George, as depicted on the flag of England;
(c)an image of the Cross of Saint Andrew (the Saltire), as depicted on the flag of Scotland;
(d)an image of the Red Dragon of Wales, as depicted on the flag of Wales;
together with specific arrangements of letters to go with each emblem
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2009/811/regula...

However such plates still require the additional display of the GB international identifier when travelling outside the UK.

If that's a UK plate, I think RA500 knows a policeman who would like a chat. If it's not a UK plate, where is your national identifier?

Either way, make sure that you exit the car using the passenger door furthest from the carriageway - hard shoulders are dangerous places wink

"leave the vehicle by the left-hand door and ensure your passengers do the same" - extract from Rule 275 of the Highway Code.

Its a Manx plate, different rules. I'm guessing that the poster is in the IOM so doesn't need a MAN sticker
I suspect that I may be due a swoop and a poop from a brightly coloured psittacine cool

Whats all the fuss why don't people just be normal number plates?

Is it some sort of character defect or insecurity, in being themselves that people need to special sized plates with expense number plates.

I run a smaller (illegal) plate on the front of the Exige so I don't catch on speedbumps/potholes

And the daft thing is, I bet each of these people that disparage 'vanity' plate probably have something just as important to them which the rest of us would find equally perplexing.

Not sure why BV et al dislike personal plates so much, I've had one for 52 years (Issued 1947) and I think they look great with no date letter and initials first/numbers second

So good on you OP smile
Not sure why you think they look great. I've hated them all my life and think they look utterly crap.

So poor show, OP smile

-see how life works?

Did the taste police not offer a taste awareness course?

If you are going to take the piss you should try to avoid using a grocer's apostrophe.

Clearly not taking your own advice then. Contracted forms and all that. Bellend
