    Because at present less motorcycles% go unprosecuted than cars % of those snapped. As long as this continues we will not be made to wear front license plates. Talk about your aerodynamic nightmare. :eyepoke:

    In part of Australia this nightmare is slowly becoming a reality (not sure when but according to Two Wheels the act is already in place and they are just going through the motions of an appeals process before enforcing it. Also according to two wheels this is happening because a significant portion of revenue was lost through an inability to prosecute bikers.

    As long as it will cost the govt more than they will make in extra revenue we will not have frontal lic plates.

    I can't work out how/where they can mount front plates. I'm sure the factory's are not going to be impressed with a bunch of civil servants screwing up their carefully designed airflow.

    Probably will have to get it painted to the front of your helmet.

    It will be impossible to mount a front number plate, especially if you have a naked bike, i remember seeing old bikes with the number plate running along the mud gaurd, but that too is stupid because you can only see it on the side, personally i don't think it will happen...

    I agree, I can't see it happening either.

    Do they still have front plates in the UK?

    they also made excellent bacon slicers for pedestrians, one of the reasons they were dropped.
    I remember seeing in old Two Wheels mags the Aus bikes had them mounted across the front guard, not sure when they dropped that idea but looks like they want to bring it back
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    It is not the camera that bikers should be worried about. It is the radar guns. You will get pinged from up front and then the flashing light will tell you to pull over. To beat them you need a good detector. They are not cheap but a good investment to save your pocket money. I have still got to get one myself.

    I think you are meaning the laser guns. A radar wont warn you about that, it will only tell you that you have just been done. Cause for the radar to pick up the laser it has to be aimed right at the radar, but as soon as the laser is aimed at your bike, it has a reading. Thus you dont have any time to slow down.

    They work good for the radars and speed cameras though. To stop them getting you with the laser you need a laser jammer.
