what is allowed on your number plate?

[Deleted member 20482]

hi,
i'm wanting to change my number plates (front & rear), and was wondering is your football team badge allowed....
if so, is it classed as a legal plate or show plate if you do.

i'm going to have legal writing for the licence plate but want my football team as a badge on the side... just don't want the old bill pulling me for illegal plates.

The ONLY thing allowed is the gb logo thingy. sad but true.

are you sure about that?
i've seen new cars with that bloody eu logo..
so its only national flags....eng,scot, wales ,ireland...
tbh even seen a fair few arsenal ones as well.....does that mean that their all driving with illegal plates?

I had a legal set made yesterday at Halfords. They offered me a St George's cross as an option (not that I wanted it).................

Just looked it up....

The Government announced on 28 December 2001 the intention to permit the display of national flags and national identifiers on vehicle number plates. The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001 are in the process of being amended. They will provide for the voluntary display of the Union flag, Scottish Saltire, Cross of St George and Red Dragon. Football team crests etc are not allowed.

whilst out and about today i have loads of cars with extra bits on the number plate and none of them were of national flags/eu badge....

might speak to the old bill about it to find out if its a pullable offence?
cause really like the one i designed...

 

[Viking]

Yes, FC badges on your plates is illegal, and the Police will tell you it's a pullable offence. It's a £30 fine, and the ones you've seen just haven't been pulled yet, or they have and just ignored the warning because they love their chosen team so much.

 

[Phosgene]

Theoretically it could fail your MOT. Depends if you have overzealous nitpicker for a tester or a copper just getting a service at the same time.
Here, here, and here give examples. The last one is a little more sinister as the damn thing is on Flicker. But it is a Volvo v70 so I expect they think they are immune...
