The Law and The M.O.T.

Only D.O.T. road legal plates should be used on UK public highways.

*** All other plates offered for sale are suitable for static exhibition use only ***

Registration plates for UK use will fail the M.O.T. Test if they are:

  • Missing
  • Broken
  • Incomplete
  • If they are so insecure, they are likely to fall off
  • If they are faded, dirty, or not easily legible from a reasonable distance
  • If they are obscured - by a tow bar for example
  • If the letters and figures are obviously incorrectly spaced or,
    a letter or figure is not correctly formed such that it is likely to be misread.

See the DVLA's for further information, in particular:



D.O.T. - Department Of Transport
M.O.T. - Ministry Of Transport



Flash Resistant Plates

People often ask are Flash Resistant Plates 100% guaranteed?  The answer is clear... NO!

As with any flash photography, our advisors tell us that no photography can be 100% guaranteed as the speed, the angle, the light, the distance bounce reflection, etc all come into play at any one given time when a camera shot is taken. However, material used in the construction of our plates is of the highest quality available and very effective in the reflecting of bright light. Our materials include the very latest B.S.A.U. 145a reflective backings, as required by law.
