Trailer Licence Plate Rules UK | Avoid Fines | Brent Guide

Key Points

• Trailer plates must match the towing vehicle.

• Plates must be clean, visible, and lit at night.

• Bodged or blu-tacked plates = instant fine risk.

Why Plates Matter

They might look boring, but plates are a legal must. Get them wrong and you’ll have flashing blue lights in your rear-view before you know it.

The Golden Rules

Your trailer’s plate must match the tow car. It must be clean, visible, and lit at night. And it must be mounted properly — no blu-tack or tape jobs.

Keep It Legal

Plates aren’t just for show — they’re what keeps you legal on the road. Get it right and you’re safe, sorted, and fine-free.

Plated up and legal – cheers, Brent.
