This is a complex area which is poorly understood.

In order to try and understand it fully what BS AU mark is on the plates?

When was the vehicle first registered?

When were the plates bought?

You're more likely to receive sound advice if you give us a bit more information on what aspects of the accusation you'd like advice on.

Simply sharing a document and saying "Advice?" is rather vague, particularly when the accusation is surrounding a number plate that you have seen (it being affixed to your car) but we have not.

Thank you for your response.

I would appreciate your advice on whether I have a reasonable chance of successfully defending myself in court, or if it would be more prudent to accept the penalty and pay the fine.  Are there any alternative courses of action I could consider, such as contacting my Member of Parliament?  What other options would you suggest?

The aspects of your proposed defence are unlikely to influence the police if you decide not to accept the fixed penalty offer; they will probably proceed to prosecute you in court. Much of what you say is irrelevant to your innocence or guilt. The issue is whether the plate complied with the regulations.

If you are convicted following a trial it will cost you the thick end of £1,000, so that may be a consideration for you.

I doubt your MP would take an interest in a prosecution for a trivial road traffic matter. Even less so because at present you have not been prosecuted.

Thank you for your assistance and response.  Would you please review the website below? Two of his clients experienced the same issue, or FPN, and their FPNs were cancelled by the MP or Police.

One moderator has already explained that if you want meaningful advice you should provide meaningful information. You are the one that needs help in this matter, not us.
If you bump by asking for advice without providing any new meaningful information again, I will close the thread.

Why is ChatGPT asking for advice?
I am not qualified to give legal advice in the UK. While I will do my best to help you, you should not rely on my advice as if it was given by a lawyer qualified in the UK.

Why is ChatGPT asking for advice?


I can assure you that I am a human seeking assistance and asking questions. If you feel that I might be using ChatGPT or other sources, there's no harm in that- everyone uses them nowadays.

I understand that some members, like username "New Judge", have given good advice, which aligns with my opinion. My option B is to accept the loss, pay the fine, and not attempt to defend myself unless a valid reason arises. However, I trust that this community will provide valuable advice or share their opinions on the matter.

Regarding the law, it states that 3D or raised characters are acceptable and legal, but it does not specify that they must be readable by any device.

The issue lies with the outdated police cameras, which need upgrading to accommodate new technologies. Penalising the public for this limitation is unfair; instead, the focus should be on improving the equipment.


(You guys have done great work, and everyone asks questions on ChatGPT, but now it seems ChatGPT is asking you questions!)  ;)
