Bending restration plate rules

[phiscoe]

OK, so no one on here has ever bent the rules on registration plate display right? Wrong.

And first of all lets get the Elephant out of the way. If it looks wrong you are a sitting duck pull-over target.

My question is - what is legal?

For a start, there appears to be no limit to how many registration plates you can display. If you doubt that, just look at any large truck next time you are on a motorway. Most have Dave, Bill, Joker etc somewhere as well as the legal plate.

So the first task of a thought police (sorry safety) camera is to identify a plate. And if it identifies the wrong one.....

I wonder if Alpha owners have any experience here. Normally front plates are mounted to one side. Any of you ever thought of mounting one on the other side eg GTS 2.0; Mi TO V6; GUILLIA

So 2 plates = half the fines, 3 plates 1/3 so on. What do you think?

Also i have been reading the rules. Am I missing something? Where does it say which way around the plate should be mounted

I have a plate with lots of O's 0's and a couple of other characters I'm not going to publicise. Am I technically breaking the law if I 'accidentally' display it upside down?

Stands back....

[ PS There's a guy near me has one NO 11 REG. Presumably the message that comes up when the camera can't read a plate Bet he misses a few fines.]
