Presumably because they're stuck in traffic and you're away down the road!

My baffle'less can is a safety feature...the guy who knocked me off earlier this year said he couldn't see me, with the baffle out, he and people like him are likely to hear me.

The other thing to consider is that since the Gov't increased the fine to £60, the DVLA are VERY keen that each time a ticket is given out, they are told about it. Photo's can be sent direct and revocation notices sent out. It's a big thing appparently.

Times are a-changin'.

What about keeping a normal size plate well covered in crap?

I like this idea and it would fool the speed cameras! Cant be blamed if it gets dirty while riding!

I'm pretty sure you can be done for an obscured plate too.

Ticket for £60 for keeping a vehicle on the road with no reg plate then.

why not get an age related plate if they take it off you? theres a guy called Roy Bacon on the Isle Of Wright i think send him a photo of your frame number and engine number and he will give you a certificate of age and you can get an age related plate :P

or the easy way out of it is keep a legal plate and learn how to brake hard for vans/ cameras
