North Yorkshire Crackdown

[Liono]

Reading through this article
https://www.northyorkshire.police.uk/newsbeat-story.asp?page=home&storyID=195
and this paragraph caught my eye:

[Gazdaman]

The bikers with illegal plates/cans know the laws, they know they're breaking them, if you don't take that risk, you won't get punished..

Good on the police I think, the laws are there for a reason, and although cans and reg plates are a bit petty, they are still laws and police need to be seen to do something about it.

And the person without insurance, and the one without a helmet need taking out and shooting.

I don't think it's fair to put the guy without a lid in the same boat as the guy without insurance

I can see why police get arsey about matchbox plates, but cans ?

Just because it's a law doesn't mean the police have to enforce it. It's illegal to do 1mph over the speed limit, I guess from your stance you wouldn't mind getting a court date for that? After all, as long as the police are seen to be doing something about it

Police doing a NIMBY. Hence the fines for anything possible. 44% of the riders that were stopped got a punishment of some sort.

EDIT: Stat true if each rider punished only got 1 ticket. I.e not someone getting done for speeding at 98mph with no insurance, matchbox plate, race can and no lid. Evolution will punish him

'One for no helmet...'

Class!

At the end of the day, we know the rules and can't complain if we get caught - you takes your choice. Petty or not. You never get done for a 1 mph excess either.

Personally, I speed so thats my accepted risk vs reward. For non-insurered riders, they can go to hell as they don't give a toss for anyones welfare in an accident.

As for the uninsured one, he may of just been taking a mates bike out for all you know, in which case was no worse than the rest of us just unlucky.
