Default opps camra van

i was going a bit too fast when i noticed a speed camra van on a bridge above the M4 so i slowed down,
if it did get me, it would have got me facing it ? so what would happen? could it get me from behind after i had gone under the bridge

Technically he could have written it down and used it as evidence with the video but I bet the wide bridge meant you were at least 200 feet past him before your plate became visible again, that should have made a visual ID of your reg practically impossible.

I've passed one head on at 140 before and didn't hear anything, by the time he turned round I'd have been way out of visual plate reading range.

You might be unlucky though they got me twice like that (forward facing camera)

EEeeekkk.. yep, where on the M4, I wasnt paying attention on my way back home Hovis.. so I hope it was east bound from Swansea on the M4, and not west... I know Crashy told me she was doing about *30 mph going back home.. so god help them lot if they got caught...

the * is meant to be a number

May have to dig out my small plate for future use now

I behaved myself for most of my treck home.. was on my tod anyway...

It's less of an offense to ride with no number at all You will get done for perverting the coarse of justice by altering your plate!!
