so if front facing camera's dont flash, what else flashes when your driving towards it
Nothing that i can think of. So why would the plate be distorted through the glass

get the plate, paste the back with superglue and use a large catapult. stand about 20 paces back from the car and fire.
wherever it lands just leave it.

thats one example of it being clear, take it in the day with the sun reflecting off the window or something, sometimes you cant even see a driver behind the windscreen let alone a plate, which needs to be visible ALL times
not to mention other random problems such as windscreens misting up, ice etc etc

no different to the plate being covered in mud or snow etc, it should be removed before using the car

Tbh if your cars going euro id move the plate to.looks so much better smoothed off.

I agree with steve for once.
Just fit it in its normal place. anywhere else looks a bit odd and gives the 'trying too hard to look different' effect.

if a numberplate was up against that windscreen there would be no problem reading it, just like there was never a problem with mines being read

if it was up against the windscreen it would make no difference with that reflection across, it, you cant make anything out, how close to the windscreen wont make any difference, the reflection is across the glass, and the numberplate would be behind the glass, if the numberplate was to be outside the windscreen then fine

how come steve?your saying youve never broken the law even a little one like no numberplate
and i meant what does the law matter when it comes to not displaying a numberplate correctly not the law in general

i think numberplates are part of the car, the car was designed around having one and i think it looks completely out of place putting it somewhere it wasnt designed to be
