i find that its only when they are looking for things that it becomes an issue. where i live theres a cruise every sunday, but since someone got killed (not at the cruise i may add) they have been trying to ban it by driving around telling people to move on. now ppl have moved on a bit more they just drive around on a sunday night looking for things to pull you on.
i had my plates which were smaller font for about 6 months and never got mentioned even though i got pulled a few times and met a few policemen but since theyre looking for things its become an issue. i got told to take them off and got issued a £30 fine
