Not Ranked
I built a hinged lay down number plate mount that stood up as soon as I slowed down or stopped. I thought that this would stop any turbulance in front of the radiator and be "cool" as well. In NSW the fine for an 'Obscured Number Plate' is $308.00 bux and three points lost. The regulations require the plate must be visible & identifiable from a distance of 20 mtrs and not only from right behind the car bit from a 45 deg. angle as well. ( the speed camera doesn't pan )The article was written by a local cop and referred mainly to the rear plate and it's obstruction by tow bars & bike racks. I have read on this forum that others have been stung for poor visibility front plates. I intend to follow this up in the ADR's...Be warned, 3 points are a lot and take 3 years to get back !
$300 odd bux isn't a sum to be sneezed at either.
