    Police in some areas don't seem to care aslong as it's visible.

    i was told by a friend that as long as the plate is visible and that it is infront of the exterior mirrors is legal

    yeah but dont forget that when you drive around at night the police will not be able to see the number plate at the front as it has no lights to brighten it up to make it visible.

    also i think they look much better there

    Front numberplates dont have lights anyway.

    Its rear numberplates that have lights.

    cheers for that might go ahead and do that if the plate has to be behind the exterior mirrors then

    they dont have to be lit^

    all depends how arsey your local police cuntstables are. all they will do is warn you or worse fine you 30 quid. my mate had it in the window for a year before being stopped for it and warned

    i think that its legal if its in the front, not in the back though.

    just go into police station and ask "if my number plate is in my windscreen will i have to pay you £30 when you catch up with me"

    buy a spare no plate, snap it, through it around the floor, scratch it up, put it in the windscreen/pass foot well then when ya get pulled over say that its fallen off, lol.

    i had mine just laying in the footwell for a few months and no coppers battered an eyelid at it

    My dad works at a car dealership and they always put the trade plates on the windscreen and never get pulled.

    Rear has to be lit up in the dark? so that's probably why.

    Think I might just go and ask but I think they will just say its illegal just to get me not to do it even if it is legal so tghey can be assholes
