I ask before and their answer is cannot reduce to one row.

Even if your plate is F 8 X also must make 2 row.

 

If you really want to do, just don't get caught.

[SpiritualRain13]

Single Row confirm cannot. I kena b4 a few timez But if U really keen on doin it i suggest better decrease the Size as well coz as long it is nt Standard the Fine iz the same $70. So no nos Plate also the same Fine...

[stinkybutt]

Wat does "Reflex Reflecting Background" means

[compfused]

Wat does "Reflex Reflecting Background" means

It reflects light..As you could see on the white number plates..The white reflects light in the dark when it is being shine on..And so does the yellow ones..

[SpiritualRain13]

But i tout those tat Reflects Light iz nt Legal ???

[ChaoPuzzy1968]

[JackDaniels]

nowadays see more n more ppl putting 1 row license plate on the rear. i think its legal alrdy.

[d0n]

based on the point no.2 as per posted by bro shaunz, means 1 liner no. plates are legal.

[Dinzmetal]

i know tis is abit out of topic, but im seeing more & more bikes' (esp S4) plate at an angle to the ground. its illegal from the plate requirements...But, IT LOOKS COOL!!!...hahaha. may i ask wher can i do this?...

[samuels1984]

yeah i guess it concludes that single line plates are legal as far as the words follow that requirement but the referring document has been dated 17-OCT-2005, is there any changes later ?

So i suppose 1 line rear plate is now legal?

[shaunz]

i asked way back in 2005, not sure if any changes has been made.

i believe it is still legal though

[kckc]

so the plate number in a single row is legal alr?

[Guest stages]

i saw some ppls doing that........

[BlackBandit]

Just checked the LTA webby. The requirements are the same as the 2005 letter.

 

Dinzmetal

For the angled plates, I'd recommend you not do it unless you got time & $70 to burn. TP & LTA do not take kindly to angled & shrunk plates.

[guwakzai]

so the plate number in a single row is legal alr?

 

if ur plate is like AZ 1 L

 

can straight line la

 

 

but cannot use the kuniang size of plate..

 

must use the normal Plate size that can fit stadard number like:

 

FBA

9999X

 

but put the AZ 1 L in the Centre of the plate with the font size requirements.
