    Well that sux. What a strange idea. They must not trust their local bobbys now or something.
    Has been a few years since I have had to get a compliance signed off.

    Ups to the cop for giving you two weeks. Lots would not have as it is obviously positioned in a poor place. Looks dorky there to so one could presume the only point is to intentionally hide it .........


    However ........ you can purchase a brand spanking new Harley or Ducati with a plate mounted off the left rear axle that can not be seen in any way whatsoever from the other side of the bike ............

    FUCK YES.

    Two really good points have come out of this thread.

    1. The cop was a good cunt for giving him two weeks to sort it out.

    2. Don't put your plate where it cannot be viewed clearly!!!!

    Why would you place a rego plate like that in the first place?



    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Trailer sideways. I think a lot are on boat trailers etc on the mudguards. I haven't had any issues but I guess its easy to read and you can see the bike one over the top also. Maybe ill get asked one day. Had to cut it down also as the trailer plates are way to big.

    Cutting down the plate is not permitted. That said, technically, I believe putting holes in it isn't allowed (but that part is ignored).

    The law states upright, and that is open to interpretation (and there has been a good thread on here about it, plus the defence etc). The plate can be upright, or the text can be upright.

    Im not to worried about the plate cut. It was massive before and now it bike plate size. I couldn't get a bike plate issued for it and had to take the big plate. Pulled over twice so far and nothing said. Funny thing is that neither time was the warrent and rego on the trailer checked just the bike.
