Congratulations on finding a policeman doing the job we pay them for. All the ones round here stand behind speed cameras.
Its a shame they don't stop all those tw*ts driving with chav lights on.

What exactly is the attraction of having a smaller plate?

I get the exhaust thing, but this confuses me.

Looks tidier and helps make integrated indicators more visible

Sounds like you're suggesting that integrated indicators are less visible than standard ones. If that is true then they should also be illegal. I've just changed back to standard rear indicators from minis and they are much more visible and so I'm a little safer. On rides I've followed bikes with both standard and mini indicators and I've yet to see a mini that is as visible as standard.

Sorry for derailing!

Yeh mine are illegal because they are not far enough apart. They're not as bright as standard either
