Hiding your plate number?

[Dilyan]

May I be excused if posted before .. yet:

This looks interesting:

If I get stopped while the number is revealed can they charge me with anything?

A chap with a flip-up number plate was jailed not so long ago for perverting the course of justice.

There is no honest reason for being able to cover your number plate on the move, so there would be no defence to it if the police spotted it.

Considering there are anecdotals of cops using vernier calipers on your plate and giving tickets out for them being <1mm size difference they'd probably throw the book at you tbh.

Its also rubbish, it takes a full 2 seconds to actuate.

Why not use LCD frosted glass instead?

Not that I'm encouraging this sort of thing...

Velcro plate FTW.



Probably be better off riding with no plate then just saying it had fallen off if stopped.

The sprays are just snake oil in a can.

This one is far quicker and home made.

A strategically broken number plate works well, so I've been told

Broken through one of the fixing holes wont allow you to fit it back onto the bike, only the half held on by the other screw. Keep the broken part under the seat wrapped up in a rag so it doesn't get scratched and "it got broken earlier today officer when I caught it on a wall while maneuvering the bike out of a tight position, a car driver blocked me in. I'll get it sorted as soon as I get home".

My mate swears it saved him a fortune in speeding fines traveling up and down the motorways and the only 2 coppers that stopped him bought it

I've found that fitting one of these to the back of the bike works really well!....Goes down well with (or on) the local bobbies as well!

Don't know which made me feel worse - That, or the fact that the problem with the lights was that I'd managed to loosen the battery wiring

[ClockworkJesu...]

Or just do what a local does and pop an epic wheelie past the speed camera so it can't see your plate.

Erm. Dont break the traffic regulations and you will have no need of one.
