Front number plate in windscreen

Post by barlow92 »

Is it illegal to have the front number plate in the windscreen e.g. cable tied to the passenger sun viser? thanks Al

Yes it must be on the furthest most point on your car, so front bumper.

i had mine in my window for months and drove past loads of cops, the back plate only gets photographed when speeding so i dont think its something they are too serious about, but safe then sorry :)

I just meant on how strict the pplice would be. Not anything to do with the law, that's the same all over.
