Clearly visible plates
I have a plate attached to the bumper of my car as the trunk lid has been completely shaved (don't like it but w/e). Is it an offence to drive it without lights illuminating it at night? I checked through the HTA and couldn't really see anything pertaining to that except the fact that it is clearly visible all the time. Yet, a lot of stock cars I noticed didn't have lights over their rear plate. Headlights seem to show the plate quite easily on it's own, so I'm unsure about this technicality.
Thanks in advance.
