Show Plates

Can I use show plates on the road?

No, show plates are not legal for road use as they do not conform to the DVLA standard for Number plates. They are a suitable reason for the Police to pull you over and issue a fine for displaying incorrect Number plates.

Spacing 

The spacing option show plates this will make your Number Plate NOT road legel it will make it a show plate. Show plate gap means For show purpose only Car shows – man caves – garage etc

No text at bottom / middle of the plate 

All all road legal plates must contain Bussiness manufacture name in the middle and the BS coding on the bottom right hand side

Will show plates pass an MOT?

Also no, show Number plates will not pass an MOT for the same reason as above, they aren’t road legal and therefore will be a failure on your MOT test.

The text on the bottom of the plate.

On the bottom of the plate of a legal Number plate, sits the information regarding the manufacturer of the Number plate supplies used to create the plate, and also the BSAU Number. The BSAU Number denotes which Number plate standard the plate has been manufactured to. The most current BSAU standard is BSAU 145d – this is what features on our Number plates.

If there is not text or BSAU Number the plate would be deemed as a show plate and a non legal road plate.
