Loophole closed for black & silver number plates

[rtcosic]

There is a rule which I managed to Google when I cut one of mine down for the same reason - and now I can't find it!
Measure the distance from the bottom (or top) of a letter to the edge of the plate and apply that.

BUT beware, do NOT cut off the supplying dealer or BS reference as that renders the plate non-conforming. As my letters and numbers were central to the plate but those details were at one end, the amount I could cut off each end was limited by the location of those details to maintain symmetry.

You might be able to find someone to make up a plate with those details located centrally, which would be a great help.

I followed one such car a few days ago, some convoluted abortion of a number plate, with letter bunched together, extra screws in several places..and possibly a bit of electrical tape added.....but for the life of me I could not work out what trendy name or message it was supposed to say.

My 1985 Jago T bucket would look a little cooler with black and silver plates, when I finally get it MOT'd and on the road, but I think it will draw enough attention as it is, without adding the possibility of further issues.....
