       This is a complex area which is poorly understood.
       In order to try and understand it fully what BS AU mark is on
       the plates?
       When was the vehicle first registered?
       When were the plates bought?

       You're more likely to receive sound advice if you give us a bit
       more information on what aspects of the accusation you'd like
       advice on.
       Simply sharing a document and saying "Advice?" is rather vague,
       particularly when the accusation is surrounding a number plate
       that you have seen (it being affixed to your car) but we have
       not.

       Thank you for your response.
       I would appreciate your advice on whether I have a reasonable
       chance of successfully defending myself in court, or if it would
       be more prudent to accept the penalty and pay the fine.  Are
       there any alternative courses of action I could consider, such
       as contacting my Member of Parliament?  What other options would
       you suggest?

       The aspects of your proposed defence are unlikely to influence
       the police if you decide not to accept the fixed penalty offer;
       they will probably proceed to prosecute you in court. Much of
       what you say is irrelevant to your innocence or guilt. The issue
       is whether the plate complied with the regulations.
       If you are convicted following a trial it will cost you the
       thick end of £1,000, so that may be a consideration for you.

       I doubt your MP would take an interest in a prosecution for a
       trivial road traffic matter. Even less so because at present you
       have not been prosecuted.

       Thank you for your assistance and response.  Would you please
       review the website below? Two of his clients experienced the
       same issue, or FPN, and their FPNs were cancelled by the MP or
       Police.
