Earlier this week the "Daily Telegraph" reported that drivers whose cars had number plates that have an "illegal background that prevents identification by traffic enforcement cameras" will shortly fail their MOT on that basis when new rules are introduced later this year.
I had long thought that a MOT failure was already ensured if one submitted a car with number plates that are not strictly in accordance with current rules, although a number of drivers have two sets of plates in order to overcome the MOT (one being legal and one otherwise). Is anyone aware of the type of plates that negate speed camera identification but are presently legal ?
Also, at any gathering of supercars, I often see cars that have clingfilm covering their rear plate. Is there basis in the theory that this might be a camera nullifying device ?
