number plate picture???

[staceyswan12]

Hi. my mum has bought a trailor tent/folding camper and has just bought a number plate for it. it has a picture of the tazmanian devil in the corner where you would normally find the gb logo. i was just wondering if this is legal or not? before we put it on the trailor. thanks.

Probably is legal

the GB thing isnt law, what you need to check is the size of the plate and the size and spacing of the lettering. Info is on the DVLA website.

For example I have a 6.5 inch by 6.5 inch number plate on my scooter which is illegal as it's too small.

I really had no idea officer...

Despite the answer given by RevFunk it is illegal for any mark other than national identifiers (GB etc.) to form part of the euro-style registration plate.

Non euro-style plates are not allowed to have any additional marks.

And if you travel on the Continent with your trailer tent you MUST have a GB sticker. New number plates are cheap enough to buy at Halfords but you must take your V5 with you to prove ownership of the vehicle. JD

Judging by the number of cars I see with illegal and almost unreadable number plates, I do not think this minor infringement would even be noticed.

hi. thanks for all your answers. probably best not to risk using it. she didnt know when she bought it, was only a few quid so probably best to lose that then getting a big fine! thanks again. xx
