So why in America are the plates half the size, 3D, tiny thin letter, but their speed cameras, which are effectivly the same as ours, can pick up the reg plates fine.
This included in car cameras in police cars.....
Nanny state do what we tell you Britain again?
For my next trick, i'll impose £10k fine for hiring illegal immirgrants, then hire one myself, and not step down from my role...
Oh, wait....
and motorbikes get away with small plates...

no we don't...
7x5 plates (which alot do have) still get the usual £30 fine + producers + mot check thingy...
And if your riding in North Wales, and any part of the bike doesn't conform (exhaust or plate), or anything else for that matter, your fucked...

but you still have smaller plates than cars so that means they are big enough for cameras and cops to read...
