Really? Bugger!
Guess I'll have to go with either 3D text or carbon looking letters instead

Yeah, oh well, there goes that idea then
It totally sucks, the laws surrounding numberplates.
You'd think if its readable within a certain distance like my example is, there wouldn't be a problem.

it not that its not readable by eye its because of number plate detecting cameras can have difficulties reading them, i sat in the back of o police car he was bumper to bumper to me and he showed me on his screen inside the car how difficult it was to read, by eye you could but not through a camera, my text was very thin but still the same squared off shape as standard

Wouldn't say that was helpful as such, just tells me that I gotta go with the 3D or carbon lettering which is what I didn't want
