Truthfully, the headlight bit is a side issue. However, I really do not want the attempt to get three wheelers back as cars from a driving licence point of view, derailed over the numberplate issue.
I agree though, there is a complete lack of joined up thinking with one bit of officialdom saying "it's a car" and another bit saying "it's a motorbike".
I understand the fine for no front numberplate is either £30 or £60 and does not involve points. For that reason, there are a few Ferraris with no front numberplate as even if caught and fined - it's chicken feed to many owners of such cars.
Regrettably it was scrapped, but the Shilovski or Wolsley Gyrocar would have baffled present day legislators as it was most certainly a car, carried at least 4 people and may have had seats for six although I can't find a photo with that many in it - and had two wheels!
