Reduce the size of Motorcycle number plates

Closed 70 signatures

What the petition asks

With HD cameras ANPR and better surveillance cameras the late 7 x 9 plate is not required and a more streamlined 6 x 4 plate would be adequate. Motorcyclists can find the large plates cause drag and that also has a cost in respect of fuel usage. A smaller plate is more carbon efficient therefore.
