New rules on black & white No plates: https://www.mgcc.co.uk/dvla-release-new-laws-on-black-and-white-number-plates/

Bryanj:
Typical example of beureaucrats having to do a fix when the make a cock up with a law

hairygit:
They should never have changed it in the first place, as number plates were part of the construction and use laws. I still find the sight of black and silver plates on post 73 bikes repulsive, they were never like it new, and should not be now. This revision is just a quick "patch" on the problem. It would be far more sensible to return to the "yellow on the rear on ANY post 73 vehicle" and why not? Before people jump in about cost, you no longer have the annual M.O.T. cost, so buy one from the money saved there!

Hairy, you would not believe the number of failures i had to write on number plates and exhausts when the rules changed!!
Even had one muppet tell me i couldnt fail his incredibly loud exhaust as it had a BS number on it till i, politely of course, that the BS number was for chrome plating not noise

So was the front front number plate should people have to re fit those, and don't use the safety argument as there are a lot of sharp parts at the front of older vehicles.
Personally i don't give a stuff what number plate anyone uses its their bike and was never part of the bike originally. You must find it difficult going to any sort of bike gathering if you find it repulsive as b&w plates are everywhere now.
