There appears to be this thread from two years ago. Nothing yet has contradicted it that I see.

Not having number plates showing isn't listed in this unless it's considered to make a car unroadworthy or similar.

If it's considered careless driving, then that would be worse.

What if you had an LCD display for your number plates.

However if you had it split top and bottom and alternating oscillations on and off at 50hz it'll look regular to the naked eye. But the camera wont pick it up, just the same a TV screen caught in a photograph.

I'm no traffic cop but you really are picking it out of air if you reckon that a dirty reg plate would be considered careless driving.

i imagine IF you were pulled up you would be cautioned to clean it at the very most.

I regularly see dirty and unreadable reg plates on roads all over Dublin. A combination of bad weather, and laziness? So I can only assume there are also plenty of people driving through the M50 toll with unreadable plates.

It may be against the law to have an unreadable plate, but its incredibly common.

It's usually only Back Plates that seem to be unreadable as dirt splashes up on the back of a vehicle, it is very rare to see Front Plates that are unreadable most likely to because of rain washing them clean, as the Cameras on the M50 read your front plate it is very unlikely that they will be dirty enough to make it unreadable.

Unless you go and make them mucky on purpose for this reason

Does that mean motorbikes are exempt from paying the M50 toll?

Can we not get into advocating illegal behaviour?
