Might as well just take your number plate off...

[0l0dom0l0]

So apparently, police in the area I live in can no longer peruse motorcyclists because it's to dangerous.

What's the point in me even having a number plate on.... they can't chase me if I drive off?

I often thought about this..

what's to stop me buying something stupidly power-full like a ducati or a R1 and just out-running the police when I need to... who is going to stop me??

Apart from me of course when I hit a tree and die.

Nothing to stop you buying and insuring a 50cc scootay and sticking that plate on your R1 boss.

Obviously registered keeper/insurer of the scooter (with swinton, no proof of ID req'd) is in el Polski Lolski name and fake address.

Come at me bro.

"But officer, my licence plate was still on when I left this morning and I thought you had your lights and sirens on because you heard over the radio it was happy hour at Krispy Kremes".

I had to ride 20 miles home from work with no licence plate once, because the screws had come off that morning and was too tight to pay Halfrauds prices for plates. Had a panda car pull out from a side road right behind me and continue to drive behind me for a couple of miles, they didn't so much as try to flag me down. Guess the h&s police have been rogering them...

You may find that this information takes some time to filter down to the (very) rank and file. If they fancy a chase, they'll have a chase.

I know it's just fantasy jawing, but if I worked in That London then I might not be so strictly bothered about whether I had a plate that was registered to me. Sauce for the unregistered, unlicensed, uninsured pedalist goose and all that.

Police fiat pandas aren't supposed to chase people either. Doesn't stop them.

I always remember a crime some guy was running away from, a civvie rammed the biker off the road (and went over him), biker got put in a wheel chair and imprisoned.

Whats to stop them saying he braked suddenly? Then press the deletebutton on the cameras?

Similarly - think few will chase a bike if the rider has no helmet.

Which of course, is often the case with stolen bikes .

I am pretty sure that no one in the world has a bike that is faster than radio waves! Warp speed captain!

Just a quick news from abroad, here from January 1st 2013, there's no way, yet, how to get away. The police won't chase you, they just get the licence plate of the vehicle and send you a post-card with summons. Well they will chase you, but not if it's dangerous, anyway as the owner of the vehicle you're fully responsible for anything that happens with it, except if it was stolen.

Which means the fine and loss of points. There is a way how to keep your points and the solution is, to say that you did not drive the vehicle at the moment, but your ''close person'' did with out your permission. Well you're still gonna pay the fine. I'm working on it

Before that, you just said that ''close person'' drove your vehicle and there was no way the police could persecute you, even if you did 180mph in a 30mph zone and they had tons of pics and videos, who got away, won

I would certainly think twice before trying this malarkey with the Spanish Police.
