I don't suppose anyone has a copy of 'The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001' by any chance?

Cheers for that bulltaco, I knew there would be some technical jargon somewhere that would burst my bubble If only the authoroties could instill such precision to some of the drivers out there?

So the moral of the story is that unless you have a full size plate with the correct lettering, spaces and borders mounted in a specific manner then you're liable to be nicked me old son! Just as well most local constabularies employ some common sense when there's a road trial event going on?
