Its nearing the end of the month, cops will pull over people and issue as many tickets as possible to hit their minimum targets.

Now, I'm not one for pointing fingers.. but it sounds like the tickets were pre populated, to save the copper a few seconds in his (tax collecting duties) upholding of the law..

Now I know roadside stops wouldn't possibly be involved with deliberately targeting motorists who are breaking one particular law, so there must be an alternative completely innocent explanation for the wrong code going on the ticket..

Even pulling him for the little plate is daft in Oxford.

I'd suggest most of the cars have something illegal about them, especially the ones driven by the 'Non Natives' And if theres nothing wrong with the car itself then 80% of the driving should get them pulled.

Honestly Oxford is like one long hazard perception exercise!

Shame that got torn up, it would have been hilarious if the Clown had taken it all the way to court.

OK, coppers were being dicks, but I really don't get the small plate fetish. Why offer them such an easy collar in return for fiddling with a bit of plastic that you can't even see while you're riding the bike?

I was in a car (passenger) and the driver was pulled. The police car pulled up alongside and the conversation with the rozzer in the passenger seat went something like this:

Copper: Do you know what you've done?

Driver: Erm, no.

Copper: [Raising voice] Do you know what you've done?!

Driver: I'm sorry officer...

Copper: [Really yelling] DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE. I MEAN DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE?

Driver: Sorry officer...

They then just drove off. No idea what they were trying to do - fishing for something maybe?

In London, the police are rubbish and are generally a pointless waste of time. Everyone has numerous stories about the general uselessness of plod and they are just a group of black-clad failures who pick on soft targets. If anything remotely challenging arises they just disappear into the ether.

I was in the first day of the Tottenham riots and plod were appalling. What I witnessed with my own eyes that day was incompetence, cowardice and stupidity. Or as we say 'business as usual' for the Met.

Don't get the small plate thing either. Same as tinted visors and that sort of stuff. Why give them a reason to stop you?

The thing that makes me laugh the most is when people who have small plates and tinted visors who get stopped for such things and complain about the new stealth tax they have to pay in the form of a fine.

My mate from work's been fined twice now for a small plate on his R6 and still moans about it. It's almost like he didn't know.

I once got stopped on a 600 and got told off for not having L plates.
