I'm no boy racer but a 63 year-old who is young at heart (even if the rest of my body is knackered) and it is heart-warming that you prove that not all lads your age are reckless and an accident waiting to happen.

Isn't it a shame we are debating about fair police? They should all be fair and reasonable like Owen, it should be a minimum expectation to be honest. It's a job with a huge amount of responsibility and a prominent role in our communities, they shouldn't be recruiting any old numpties with varying degrees of personality disorders but unfortunately they often do.

People often criticise the police for lack of engagement with the public, but hopefully that is put to bed with these videos. I think this is some of the finest public engagement I've seen, honestly in the whole UK. Credit to Owen and yourself. Informative, to the point, and just right on the level of seriousness. Rules are complicated, these videos make them uncomplicated. Keep 'em coming!

I loathe the Met Police. Really can't stand them. They continually fail to impress me both privately and professionally and are a dishevelled and undisciplined rabble. But the Traffic Police get a pass in my book, because I have never had them be rude, sarcastic or arrogant to me. Usually they advise and often help you do the right thing. Never had a ticket in 30 years of motoring, even when caught bang to rights on one occasion. Unlike so many of the arrogant bullies and liars I find on response teams or the TSG Einsatzgruppen.

So glad u r doing these videos as they are really clearing up the rules of what u can do with a car.

Love the advice here 😍 and loving the news I can keep my plates 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 cracking video guys 👌🏼

Always been unsure with plates and legality. This was very helpful, thank you!

This is so helpful! Can't wait for show season to begin!!

Fantastic vlog. Look forward to the Drive way mods by both of you. ST looks Clean and a Beast.

Just seen you down in Torquay, I was the iveco van behind you!! Love your work mate, keep it up! Car sounds lovely aswell 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Thanks for clarifying everything to do with the Reg Plate laws. I've just put 3D shortened plates on my motor - which are 100% legal, now I've seen this video - thanks gents.

Owen you are amazing thank you for your time and helping the average driver

Thanks for the very helpful video! It’s just a shame that I got stopped for illegal plates when, after seeing this video and a bit of research they are actually legal under the 145D laws. Luckily I only got a warning and am now running plates that follow both ‘D’ and ‘E’ laws by complete flook as this was before the transition period. No ones perfect, it’s one of these things! Loving the policing content and would love to see Owen working on the car.

Can't wait to see Mr Owen as well as PC Owen. That would be awesome if you guys had a stand at Ford Fair. Also, great to hear you finally have your new sponsor, well done Maxton.

Owen is such a bloke. I love content with him.

Wow I’m a genius, everyone was saying I’m weird for “ if you Pete doesn’t have small text from where it was made it’s not legal “ GLAD YOU COVERED THAT

Yey, finally! Been waiting for this! 😍

Fantastic video explaining everything what we all wanted know thanks for posting 👍🏻

Love the content both! Keep it up!

big thumbs up to both you guys

What about thickness of 4d plates and legality? You can get 3mm, 5mm and i've seen some places do up to 7mm in thickness!

Useful George ! Didn't know about having your plate shorter , ideal for me

That was some helpful and much needed info.. Excellent stuff.!

Plate looks better on the front. Looked crap on the side

you and owen should do the driveway mods for defined it would be good to see the non police side of owen when you do the driveway mods

great video as always guys. looking forward to more soon

Great video George, clears everything up & now i know i can keep my 4D plates on my Mercedes

Very helpfull indeed and I am glad I watched this vid to get a heads up from the cops directly ..nice one

Great video and great content. I’m going to thru all your past videos and check out other useful stuff. It would be great if Owen could do his own KZread channel about other vehicles like 4x4 mods. Keep up the good work 👍

nice one. great update. Just about to buy some new plates on one of our cars as the old ones are delaminating. Was going to get pressed metal plates are they look nicer, but need to find a seller that does make some that are 145e compliant, so refelective/etc. Didnt know that the dvla could take the plates off you, wow. And yes i remember the Q plates, often used for imports in the old days.

I only just found this channel and love it. Personality I'm happy with the plate that come with my car until I can afford a personalized one like B1 GEGO .

Awsome explanation guys

Great very informative, now can some one do some thing about car manufacturers making indicators brake lights rear lights and side lights back to doing what they should do clearly as opposed to being mixed up style/fashion statements, and make the clear and seperate

Informative. Absolutely clear. Thank you.

Useful video! Thanks

Great video as always bro. Can’t wait to see Owen let loose on your car doing driveway installs 😂. All jokes aside make for some good content I bet Owen has good bants. My big question is will he let you near his Rs to do some mods?

15:07 - might not be riveting to watch, but it’s actually so good as a driver to have a Police officer explain the law and regs as they change, and to have them “dumbed down”

Excellent video, can I ask for a similar version on LED and HID lighting with the information confirmed by the DVSA after their recent hash job of updating their rules which was widely circulated across social media recently.

Great informative video guys. I have a quick question. I have a 3D plate with carbon lettering and the company that supplied them had just told me that because i purchased these plates previously i will be allowed to continue to use them after September 2021. Can you please confirm if this is correct?

New to the channel Thanks for the latest information 👍👍👍👍

Hi, Great video, very informative! Owen said from the 1st September, 3D and 4D lettering will still be legal until the DVLA say otherwise. Are there any plans for them to change that?

Many countries from Europe could learn from this channel...

Loved the video! Very informative. My question would be: What about slogans on the bottom of the Number Plate? Sort of how Shmee150 has. Are those legal? Keep up the great work ❤️

Hi George / Owen 😃 very useful information . thanks for clarifying the legality of modified number plates , though I do have a couple of questions for Owen please. In addition to the gel plates I quite often Spot cars that have retro fitted old style pressed steel number plates ,like ones found on classic cars (black on the back not yellow), is this aloud? . also another example let’s say a late 80’s early 90s car with a flags or emblems or a printed borders -fitted before any legislation changed , as these were applied years ago before the law changed . Can these plates be left on or do they need to be replaced? Many thanks

Hi. Just found your channel and really appreciated the info. I've got a 1975 ford. Could you do something regarding black plates on classics?

Amazing video

What defines “removable” characters when it comes to 3D / 4D plates? If the characters are not allowed to be removed does that not mean they should be an integral part of the plate? I’ve heard some people who have had registration characters come off during pressure washing a car as they are just stuck on.

in the UK (= for foreign viewers) the DVLA (Driver vehicle licensing authority.) issues and regulates all vehicle licensing, all drivers licences. Records all driver vehicle and licencing offenses. They also are involved in fines, legal decisions made by courts re vehicles/drivers. 👀A points system is in effect in the UK where drivers who commit offences can receive 'points on their licence' for designated offences. 👀They can also 'suspend' or terminate a licence, licensing. 👀 If a vehicle is registered with the DVLA and you are NOT using it on the road etc 'public highway' then you must inform DVLA re that and if you forget or fail to do so they can issue a non negotiable fine (£60+) it is a very 'autocratic' institution but it has its good, bad and indifferent aspects which at times can be open to abuse/complaints. 👀A vehicle in the UK that does not have correct licensing, valid MOT or insurance can be seized and scrapped or auctioned. The NUMBER PLATE RECOGNITION SYSTEM is employed by DVLA, law enforcement etc extensively throughout the UK whether FIXED or via MOBILE units. 👀 The original concept was derived from being able to track criminals especially 'terrorists' etc. HOWEVER it has been used for investigations where tracking of a vehicle movements can lead to arrests, court cases etc. 👀The criminals use various methods to get around some of the regulations / use of; number plates. 👀Cloning of a same vehicle number for instance. Lets take a car with the reg plate DH34 2LA being driven legitimately in Glasgow? A car with the same number plate appears on cameras in London committing an offence ? DVLA send out a letter to the 'owner of the vehicle with that plate number'? But the real owner is in GLASGOW??? 😶The criminals activities can cause hell for the legit owner, as they have to convince the police/DVLA that THEY did not commit the offence. HENCE why the number plate systems ie getting one, using one have changed extensively to try and prevent this kind of fraud. 👀

This was a very interesting video but what is the rules regarding motorcycle ref plate could he do a video on this issue?

Really helpful video! Just wanted to know if the 4d neon gel situated behind the black block lettering caused an issue with police / DVLA, which some companies provide?

A lot of people are saying the old plates will be banned, as you said, you can still use them, what people don't know is if an item is banned then the government are bound by law to pay compensation, and they don't like doing that if they can help it.

Can I ask the law about Vinyl Plates and wether still allowed after September?

When Owen said on the shorted number plates, what’s the gap/measurement you need between the last letter and the end of the plate and the same with the start? Thanks

Can you confirm that coloured backing letters are acceptable under BSAU145d and remain so after 1st September? It is the new BSAU145e standard that does away with coloured backing letters?

Great vid .So my 145D plates I have on my car I can just keep using them now and through the transition?

My registration does not show the name of the manufacturer at the bottom but it shows NPS BS 145d, it means that it is illegal because there is no manufacturer's name?

I have a short plate on the rear of my car, both 3D gel plates bought from “Delta Plates” The full size front plates contain the 145 number however on the rear there is no company marking and no BS etc number on the short plate. Any idea whether the rear shortened plate has to include the markings?

Keep this up!!!

Hi, you were talking about tinted plates right? What if i got that matches all standards but they special acrylic mould that makes it look slightly darker. But when it comes to cameras flashing and ect they do look like normal plates. Are these type of plates are allowed?
