What are the current record series for 2015? Shortly before Christmas 2020, the DVLA sent a newsletter to Registered License Plate Providers (RNPS). This bulletin contained a single sentence suggesting that 3D/4D licence plates would not comply with the new Uk standard for licence plates (BSAU 145e). In addition, it has been suggested that they do not comply with the current British standard (BSAU 145d). However, this statement had no factual basis or supporting evidence. It seems that there has never been a real danger that 3D freezing and 4D laser-cut license plates will become illegal, even though the government petition has managed to solve the problem. Different story on the website of the Ministry of Public Infrastructure and Transport. “Government procedures take time. But we will take the necessary steps before the deadline.

It is a question of visibility.
Earlier, on April 8, the NTA said in a statement that license plate suppliers must comply with UK standards under the new Construction and Use of Vehicles (Road Traffic) Regulations 2010. This is despite the fact that many road users had changed their license plates, the deadline for the entry into force of the new regulations, namely July 1. The NTA believed that many of the license plates installed so far were incompatible with the new law. In response to a government petition to end the ban on 3D/4D license plates [2], the Department of Transport clarified the position – as long as the 3D gel and 4D laser cut letters meet the requirements of the current BSAU 145d standard, they are legal and would not need to be changed after September. when the new standard comes into force.

The plates shall be affixed to the rear and front of all motor vehicles in the field provided for this purpose and, if this space is not available, they shall be fixed as vertically as possible so that the signs can be read at any time (not more than 1,5 m above the ground). Suppliers who do not comply with the regulations commit a crime and can be fined 10,000 rupees. Is the 3D license plate legal with the planned measures? During the parliamentary procedure on Tuesday 12. In April, Public Infrastructure Minister Anil Bachoo said in response to a question from opposition MP Satish Boolell that drivers would change their licence plates according to UK standards on a “voluntary basis”. All new vehicles that leave dealerships must in turn be equipped with the new license plates. In the meantime, this decision is a relief for many drivers and license plate manufacturers. Those overwhelmed with orders, especially since Wednesday, June 22, did not expect them to be in time for July 1.
How does negativity bias come into play here? First of all, the unscrupulous creation of a “press article” that definitely raises a negative point (3D / 4D will be illegal), without factual basis, will receive much more attention and clicks.
