I had some, in the UK font, pressed. So still legal, as soon as you stray from the UK font and have like german letter style pressed you're gonna get pulled over all day long. Least round here you would, lol.

I like pressed plates, but theres plenty of people who dont.

I have pressed plates, never has an issue about them. They say "uk" instead of "D" which stops that.

Its an age old question to which you're going to get mixed opinions from.

I got pulled in Ordsall on the way home from work last year for my pressed plates.
It was one of those roadside compaigns that pulled me and issued £60 fine.
I'd drove passed loads of traffic cars before that time without any problems though.

These were my plates.

yeah mine dont have any markings on them, but tbh none of my normal plates ever have either.
also, my mate has the legal plates and got pulled over for them. copper warned him ''because he wasnt sure if they were legal or not''......im sure you cant enforce a rule you dont know exists lol
