Deface them then. If you were so bothered about them you would buy an air rifle or paintball gun and get the job done, rather than complaining on a forum. !  ____________________ KAWASAKIIIII |

Agree with the sentiment, if not the bike choice. I've lost interest in road riding this year, 7 or 8 sunny track days is more than enough.
I've scratched the itch to ride on the road twice this year. It was fast, long and fun, well away from PC Plod but I don't miss it. ____________________ Triumph Daytona 675 track bike + girlfriend's Honda Hornet 600

I'm fairly sure my plate can't be read by cameras. I tripped two speed cameras six weeks ago and haven't had any shitty letters yet, so today I just ignored about 10 speed cameras, half a dozen bus lane cameras and probably a couple of red light cameras. This was just Brixton to the West End and back, about 12 miles. I swear I was a much safer rider today...I could concentrate on the cars and cyclists without worrying about my speedo and the white lines and the bus lane time restrictions and the bike's clock. It was like travelling back a few decades, and I fucking loved it. ____________________ Current bike: K1100RS.

Done that myself a few months ago. I did a few miles, got extremely pissed off and though FUCK IT!! Smeared my plate with dirt and carry on. |
I'm sure all of your overtakes were risk free and didn't involve diving madly past right at the end of the dual stretches, or causing oncoming traffic to brake sharply to avoid a head on.
Until those cameras went in, every time I went up the A9 there was a crash or the aftermath of one visible thanks to rageface road warriors who just had to shave that critical 5 minutes off of their hundred mile journey. Every time.
I railed against them when they were planned, but in practice and in conjunction with the 50 limit for HGVs (which means they do an indicated 60) they've actually transformed the road for the better. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

True. I remember the days.
Although these days, even tractors have cameras: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/11898960/Police-hide-speed-cameras-in-tractors.html
What do you have on your plate? ____________________ FZR400 (blown engine), ZXR750 (blown engine), ZX6R (accident), CBR600 which had engine issues after which I learned to change gear..., CBR900, CBR924 (stolen), CB600, CB1300 (everything blew up), BMW K1300GT (written off, hit from rear while stationary), Bandit 1250 for a couple of months, Triumph Sprint ST 1050 (nicked) and somewhere in there, I wrote off a Ducati 748 at Cadwell. |

Nail on head. The law is meant to be enforced with discretion. If discretion is never exercised, respect for the law diminishes. ____________________ Current bike: K1100RS.
