    Unless it breaks into two pieces in under a year

    Then you have to fork out the exhorbitant fee of $8.80 (or something, whatever) for ANOTHER!!

    Do they come with warranties?

    Consumers Rights - one would expect a metal plate to last more than 1 year. Take it to Fair Go...

    I've seen plenty of cages with no front number plate, just some numbers painted on the bonnet to vaguely resemble a number plate.

    Yeah... your point being?
    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!

    Surely it can't be legal. They still seem to get away with it though.

    What a novel thought?

    They get away with it until they are pulled up. Like I have said, I wasn't pulled up straight away for my plate, it was probably over a year before I got fined for it.

    Surely the WOF inspector(s) must notice it.

    I'm sure they do, at least sometimes. However...
