No, going out and driving through several speed cameras 16mph+ over the posted limited is by far and away the easiest way to get points. I'd like to say giving the finger to a traffic cop was even more effective, but you'd struggle to find one on most rides.

I don't think it's illegal to give a cop the finger
Just make sure your bike is fully legal and you are riding safetly when you do it

On a side note back to traffic cones. I was driving back from London on the M1 at 1 in the morning, the fecking 'workers' had closed the 5 lane Motorway down to 1 causing a half hour delay. 3 miles of single lane traffic and not one worker did those cones protect!! They weren't even on the bloody Motorway there was no-one. If I was on my bike I would have ignored those cones.

Cameras would have picked you up sharpish though wouldn't they?

I imagine they'd have a case for DWDC for compromising your control of the vehicle by unneccesarily taking your hand off the bars, rather than the actual "finger" itself.

Yes; I believe they can't do you for this. I say this because a friend got pulled because his passenger swore at them, but all they could do was give him a ticking off.

How do you know you got spotted?

Because we're webels who decide which laws apply to motorcycles and which ones don't. Much the same as double white lines in the middle of the road are deemed by me to be discretionary.

You can quite legally tell any copper to "feck off" now without fear of prosecution, because a court has deemed the word 'feck' to be perfectly acceptable and non-insultive or abusive language
