Number plate sizes

[cagiva gezzer]

ok, we all know that the legal size for your plate is 7x9 inches.

But, when you have a plate with a "one" in it such as "P198 MKE" or only a six digit plate such as "W68 NRL", can the plate be smaller and still be legal because the digits take up less space?!?!



An thoughts would be helpful.

I Thought 6 digit plates were aloud to be slightly smaller?

I thought the CHARACTERS had to be the legal size. I think you are allowed to trim the yellow down a bit.

hmmm... my characters are the legal size I believe.....

Legal plates for motorcycles must mave black legal characters (i.e. the legal font / typeface) measuring exactly 64x44mm, spaced 10mm apart with 30mm between letter groups. The characters must be placed on DVLA approved yellow reflective backing. All margins between the edge of the plate and the nearest part of the letter must be a minimum of 11mm. The registration must be displayed on two lines and split in the conventional way. Tampering with letter groups is not permitted.
Logos are permitted but must fit into an area 178 x 13mm, centered at the bottom of the plate. The plate must also display the BSAU mark to indicate its shatterproof qualities.

Retro-reflective Euro badges are permitted, and must display the Euro Stars logo and the letters GB on a blue backing strip.
