Front registration plate advice

We have to have front plates in Washington but its only like an $80 ticket so not worth putting it on the car. How bad do they drill you in the UK? Seems like a shame to mount a front plate on these cars.

 

Keep the plate in the front under the seat . I got pulled once for no front plate
They flashed me down i quickly put the plate in the front window . And said I’ve just had ppf done and need to leave it off for a few days they were fine with that in uk

 

Can you have a graphic artist or a office copy place make a plastic or color paper image and laminate it then use a double sided adhesive to stick it directly on the front below the Cavallino and take your chances? It will look like the plate as desired with the correct registration numbers and the cops may not even notice it. You can carry the original under the seat and say you are working on an attachment but car is not designed to hold a plate without significant damage. Your intention should be obvious if pulled over, you have the plate and are displaying it.

 

Get a smaller plate

 

It’s a UK plate but made little. Not strictly legal, but figure it preferable to none at all when out for a longer run.

I keep the full size one and sticky fixers in the luggage comp for MOT time.

 

You can use a smaller plate perfectly legally so long as it is made by an appointed number plate maker and includes the name and postcode of the company and the required BS number.
