metal pressed plates
« on: 21 August 2011, 22:20 »
Whats the deal with pressed plates? i got pulled last night and the officer is telling me where is the BS mark so i showed him and he said no thats to do with the colour of the plates (white & yellow) they are illegal because the letters stick out but monday to friday i've had alot of police driving behind me and not one pulled me over. From what i know the plates have to have the right spacing, height etc, who made them, the postcode of the company who made them and the british standard mark which is BS AU 145d which my plate had.
