Number plate mounting, is this "legal"?

[scumdog]

exactly my point.. the police shouldn't be giving people tickets based on there attitude.. they're here to police the laws as defined by governments not our demeanour !

Riiight.. gotcha, NO discretion eh? Attitude or no attitude, give 'em tickets if there's any reason to.

Good one, I can hear the KB screams from here.

The gazette is the parlimentary papers that get published .. absolutely riviting reading if you ask me

Yeah...... (The butler does it!)



So long as the plate is visible from the rear (and not hinged, etc, etc...).
Pretty damn obvious that it is difficult to mount a plate under the seat since the exhaust is there.

Its not that hard to be polite... and obviously goes a long way...
Should apply to more aspects of life to get in practise if its that hard

Great result, but the main thing I'm impressed to heck with is that your Mum and Dad actually ride bikes like that. Long may they prosper, you have fantastic parents.

are you a tree hugger?

[kiwifruit]

Awesome, tell us more

There wasn't alot to it, just Mum reading up on the wording of the law, Dad taking photos for evidence and turning up at court. It comes down to the wording of the law and how the powers interpret that on the day i guess.

Sheesh Boomer? fail the attitude test much? hahahahaha. I bet you get booked everytime you get pulled over? Wrongly quoting the law before the cops in earshot? yelling and having a little paddy?

I Dodn't do anything I consider dangerous but have been stopped riding outside of the written letter of the law every now and then. Probably get tickets one time out of six on average. Just pull over in the first safe place for you both, make it clear your stopping not running if you ride on for a bit to get to a safe place. They might even be real people who can make a judgement call on whether you were dangerous and deserving of a ticket or simply needed pulling over cos you can't let the cars see a bike speed past a cop and not get stopped. Cars see justice, cop gets to see your not drunk or wanted for anything and gets to make an accurate assesment of the situation and decide if you need a frown or fine or demerits.

AND WHATS WRONG WITH HUGGING TREES?

My Dad is having a court case today, disputing a ticket he received.
"Number plate not mounted in proscribed fashion"

Will he win?
Will he loose?
Is it legal?

see attached photo of Dad's bike on the left below and Mum's on the right

no way thats legal. just put it on the back like everyone else and take it up the arse from the judge like a good boy

i know you're a tree hugger.. you ride a Hyoslung

[Pancakes]

i know you're a tree hugger.. you ride a Hyoslung

and Korea has a real good environmental track record a? Jee wiz, I am concerned about the planet more than you would understand. If you knew me you might have a clue what you were talking about!

Try. Pancakes is cheap and values known history over power.... so rides a Hyosung. Is a tree hugger because he lobbies government on things like packaging laws, green belts and energy production. Say what you like Boomer, I won't be replying off topic again, have fun!

Anyway thats off topic!

Mr Fruit, good choice of parents, have a celebration beer for me a!

"Number plate not mounted in proscribed fashion"

Dude ... just out of interest, did the cop write that phrase exactly as written and spelled?
