My mate got pulled over and given a producer for small plate and illegal can etc.
The officer who pulled him also asked him to tell him who was the rider of a black bike with a tiny plate who lived near him!
Is if he was gonna shop me in!!!
Even more ironically, just as he got pulled over, I'd sent him a text warning him that Police in that area were pulling bikers over, too...
It's a funny world sometimes!

Re: iv got a race exhaust for MOT. HELP!
i got pulled over the other day, mainly for overtaking an unmarked plod car, they pinned me with 3 points for overtaking on solid white lines when i didnt, so now iv got to go to court about it. they said they were also going to give me another fixed fine for having a smaller than usual number plate. monkeys!

contest the numberplate mate, new legislation says you can use a small numberplate providing it can be read at 20.5 yards or summat like that.
Don't forget people there is more to the zxr400 than this forum... check out www.zxrworld.co.uk also.

You can legally overtake on solid white lines.Head-Down wrote:i got pulled over the other day, mainly for overtaking an unmarked plod car, they pinned me with 3 points for overtaking on solid white lines when i didnt, so now iv got to go to court about it. they said they were also going to give me another fixed fine for having a smaller than usual number plate. monkeys!
You just have to overtake _within_ the white lines.
EDIT: If at any point in your manouvre your bike touched or crossed the white lines, its an instant 3 points. Tough break but thats the law ..
Altho there does seem to be a lot of people crying 'stitch up' lately. I wouldn't be suprised if it isn't going down big stylee either, what with the police out to meet ever ridiculous 'detection' targets.
After all, in court, whats the word of a biker against two coppers? You'll loose. Take the points if I were you ..
Unless it was an unmarked car (in which case you have the footage), or the there was a stationary vehicle in the middle of the road (the only time you are legally allowed to cross double white lines) its not worth contesting mate.

incidentally, i don't think it's quite stationary - accounts for very slow moving things like cyclists, steam engines whatever i think

Re: iv got a race exhaust for MOT. HELP!
the thing is that the officer said that i crossed double white lines, but the are only singlw white lines and alo i didnt cross then i was back on my side of the road before thay started. the distance from where i over took to where the white lines start was 320 yard which is plenty of room to over take 3 cars.

the letter of the law hasn't changed. the association of chief police officers have issued guidelines suggesting that forces lay off prosecuting people unless they can't be read from 20.5m. however it is just that - a suggestion which individual forces are at liberty to ignore. small plates are still illegal.

Re: iv got a race exhaust for MOT. HELP!
finally got around to taking my bike for an MOT, it passed with a full micron system that says not for road use under the tip, and a back indicator with only half the LEDs working.
