rtbiscuit Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 re bennetts comment this isn't designed to fold flat at a set speed, that particular plate is designed specifically to do that to avoid speed cameras. and this plate, you'd need to be dismantling th eplate to spot the difference. from the front it looks like any other bolted on plate. as long as your not breaking the law by driving with it folded there isn't an issue. my local bobby said it was fine to have it sat in the window. all they care about is being able to use the ANPR and speed camera's so if your not using it while driving how the hell are they going to know. considering i was driving without a plate for 3 months as it kept falling off i never got stopped once, and i live right next to and have to go past the suffolk constabularly hq.

Stew Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 If legalities bother you then have a switch or a physical disconnect under the bonnet. De energise the system when on public roads so it can't be activated by accident and if pulled over and questioned by the police you could demonstrate this to them. I doubt they could have a problem with it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRO-T Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I can't wait to get mine fitted now Is yours wired up so that when the engine is turned on and off the plate retracts and expands?? If not, any ideas which wires I'm going to be looking for to make this happen?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choptop Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Just a thought, but if it is not declared as a modification when insuring your car, will you actually be insured? Imagine if the mod was found after an RTA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Just a thought, but if it is not declared as a modification when insuring your car, will you actually be insured?

Most I think would say 'go and get your insurance elsewhere'. Great idea for shows and top marks for originality and design, but may be difficult to get your car insured with one of these. Just an observation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
