Number Plates

I think problems arise with the more “fancy” designs from states plates and the like. I’ve seem white backgrounds with coloured lettering which is totally illegal.

Absolutely. An old mate of mine used to run plates styled on the old California type that had a blue background and yellow digits.
He got pulled every other day the daft sod.

70’s California Blue and yellow tags look real good. I prefer them to the earlier “black” plates which are so sort after.

Yeh, but he looked real good.

Any links etc to support the use of smaller font please??

I attach Section 14A, elsewhere reference made to American imports and 14A.

Not sure on the legality of wording on the top or bottom of the plate or corners for that matter as seen on the majority of plates on older US vehicles. Doesn’t seem like much, and doesn’t interfere with the main numbers/letters, but the laws the law.
The plates below I don’t think would be classed as legal.
Go to any show in the country and possibly the majority of US cars and certainly trucks will have something similar on them

Well yes, but those are probably cars that do about 500 miles a year pottering to a couple of summer shows.

For those of us who use our cars all year round it's quite a good idea not to have a big sign on each end saying "please nick me".

Totally agree. Me personally, only think that style of plate only suits vehicles of a certain age. On the more modern cars ie corvettes, camaro’s challengers, chargers and the like these plates look not so good. A standard size 12” x 6” reflective plate looks much better.

On C4’s and upwards, I think this style looks best.

Is Oregon a two plate state or one?
