well the rat chop got its first pull by the police today...

[virus]

Unmarked firearms car pulled me for speeding, I didn't confess to anything and it came apparent to me that they didn't have speed reading equipment, thank god I thinks, they start looking around the rat, ask a few questions, giggle about the pushbike speedo and look worried about the towing hitch on the back. Then they slapped me we with a 60 quid fine for failing to display tax.

Heres the question though, Ive got seven days to produce but don't have my insurance documents, whats the likelihood of me being able to get adrian flux to post them out recorded delivery and it be here in time?


Cheers
John

stinkwheel Well I just had my hands up a pigs fanny. Which makes your concerns pale into insignificance.

[Itchy]

Adrian flux emailed me a PDF of my insurance once, and I printed them out which was good enough for UK customs.

cheers itchy, just emailed them asking if they can do that. Fingers crossed they can get them to me in time.

Whats likely to be said If I cant produce insurance documents when I go produce my license and MOT?

Unlcuky!

Now, gimmie details;

where, what car, what colour/ reg etc

I hate unmarked cars. Noted one down a little while ago (although cant find the reg now)

[-Savage-]

If you go to the nick where you are required to produce and tell them you need another week or what not for your documents to be posted out.

I had a producer after my accident, but was still in hospital so couldn't go, my dad went to the nick and they said no problem, and gave me another week.

Thanks

looked for the reg of the one i saw but i cant find it. Basically pretty new (ish) ford something. Quite big, 2l iirc.

Bloody undercovers They are the ones i fear most lol.

[Inkognito]

Adrian Flux will email them to you.
If they havent replied by monday resend the email and put "URGENT:" in the subject.

What are the laws regarding displaying the tax disc? Somebody could have nicked off your bike.

Is the tax paid?

[virus]

yup, tax paid, can still give out up to a 200 quid fine for failure to display though.


Cheers
John

Come and live in N.I for a while were all police officers are armed and dont need a reason to pull you, search or arrest you, we also have to display an mot disc which sometimes can carry the same penalty as a tax disc and dont get me started on the mot system over here.

John, a ratter is going to attract attention from the cops, keep it legal and display your tax.

I'm another for getting a 60 quid fine for not displaying tax.
(a 15 pound tax disc that I had paid for).

I was polite as I possibly could, talked enthusiastically with them about their big beemers and old BMW's I was interested in.

I considered lying and saying it must have fallen off or maybe someone nicked it while I was parked up in town, but instead I gave these nice gentlemen a confession that I had forgot to put it in my new jacket I was wearing that I just got for my birthday.

If any of you get pulled, never give the cops the benefit of the doubt even if they seem just like the interesting random bikers you get to talk to.

You could have called that the good cop - good cop routine.

At least I know now that it is ALWAYS better to lie to the police when you know you will get away with something rather than tell them the truth.

+1 to always having your bike all legal so that you can enjoy the other parts of your riding in peace. Friends tell me my cans are too quiet, but they're quiet for a reason.

[G]

I presume you didn't have it on you?
They've been fine when I've pulled a fresh tax disc out of my wallet.

If not on you, I believe the reply is "OMG, it was there when I looked last week - someone must have nicked it!"

[virus]

was in my bedroom G, and me being a honest fool, believing that the anpr system would tell them its taxed so they leave me alone I told them. ah well, tax is on the bike now, wont happen again (unless it gets nicked )

Next time point at a random threaded hole and say 'it was there this morning!'.

The only way I can see any reason for the 'failure to display' is if you were to own multiple bikes, all painted the same colour and debadged, and stuck the same number plate on them all. I doubt most officers would realise what bike they were looking at.
