spitfire123 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 hi all, got some number bord stickers from work...there about 6" long by about 5" tall... i want to put them either on the side of the car or on the bonnet. but is it illegal or not? i heard from someone that number son a car were illegal? i dont see why? will just add to the look and thats the only reason i want them to be honest. cant find any info on the matter online. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikestones Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 You can put them on,as long as you dont try to make them look like a number plate,and confuse the anpr scanners. The size you mention clearly doesnt resemble a number plate. If they were illegal,all the taxi firms,pizza firms etc would need to remove their advertising on car sides.

MichellefromEssex Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Max has our phone number and mobile number on the side of his van so I doubt its illegal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick88 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 would say that number's and letter's that are put on as advertising are ok, heard that number's that are put on as in race car style on the door's or roof have to be crossed out when on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikestones Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 You need to have a look at the "motor vehicle construction and use regs 1988", As far as i can see theres no rules about restrictive placing of text on the side of the car,and certainly no reference to having to cover the text on a public highway.

mick88 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 heard that number's that are put on as in race car style on the door's or roof have to be crossed out when on the road No reference to covering up advertising text was made, please read again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikestones Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 The c and u regs do not differenciate between numbers and letters,they are all refered to as text. At least I am quoting from a source,not heresay. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
