Hi peeps,

Changed car recently and need a new number plate for the van to reflect the new number!  Current one is just a reflective self adhesive sticky.  Can we replace with the same?  I work for a sign company but we don't have number plate facilities, and can't find an answer about the law on sticky ones!

Thanks

Aren't vehicle number plate suppliers now required by law to be registered?

Got ours for our Pennine in May 2011 = £6.50  on eBay as it has been said it is not the car that it is for and the caravan or whatever.

It  could be an older unit, does that mean everytime you change your unit you have to get registered number plates, rather ridiculous as some can afford to change a lot more than others.

I believe that the plate on your caravan does not have to conform with that of the registered vehicle. You therefore can get a "show" plate for the van that are as cheap as chips on Ebay.

Not quite sure about that. Once on the road, the caravan  becomes subject to laws apertaining to road vehicles, and the plate on the van is representing that on the rear of the towing vehicle.  I wouldn't fancy the risk of challenging it in court.

i recently went into a trailor shop that also sold number plates explained to him i needed a rear plate for my caravan that had falled off in transit he could see i had the van with same plates and done it no paperwork no questions asked.
