Numberplate Legality

[sIIgtst]

hi guys

i have a 400r front bar on my r33 and i want to put my number plate

at the bottom of the bar instead of the standard position. does anyone

know if this is considered legal or not by the NSW police?

[tek_01]

as long as it is in a position where it is clearly visible i guess they wont say anything. i rekon if u have it on the bottom lip where it is facing upward instead of forward than they will most probably have something to say about it

has to be centered.. what i got told by cops.

[sIIgtst]

yeah i do agree with the lying down bit

i was planing on making a bracket to hold it

facing foreward. which will hopefully make it legal.

Must meet the following, as per the June 2006 revisions:

- Any part of the number plate is not more than 1300mm from the ground;

- The number plates are substantially parallel to the vehicle's axles;

- Any number plate is not obscured, for example by a towing attachment, gooseneck or tow ball;

- Any number plate cover is not tinted, reflective, rounded or bubble like;

- Any number plate is of RTA issue, is damaged or faded to the extent that the registration number is not visible;

- Characters on the number plate are clearly visible from a distance of 20 metres at any point within an arc of 45 degrees from the surface of the number plate above or to either side of the vehicle.

so side mounts are legal if they can be viewed at 45degrees, sweet

The number plates are substantially parallel to the vehicle's axles;

what does that mean exactly? they cant be on some massive angle?

and YES SIDE MOUNTS ARE LEGAL... how many times do you see Alfa Romeos with them? all the new ones do due to the grill...

thats my 2c anyway...

everyone can see how alfa's have the plate there but are you going to sit there arguing that fact to the next cop that says something?

This is where mine's at, and I'm yet to get any complaints.

no, im going to shut the f**k up and say 'yes officer' like everyone should, then comply the plates to the RTA's laws, not Mr Policemans laws... as they are the governing body over the roads and vehicles...
