Well, if the ticket was written like that, I'd have a field day in court. In fact, I'd have probably brought along spectators.

I've seen Harleys with their plate mounted there.

Good Luck

close.
the ticket reads:
"Failed to display reg plate in prescribed manner"
please excuse my use of the words proscribed and fashion

Why should that even factor into whether a ticket is issued? Are most traffic cops vindictive pricks who don't like the fact some members of the public don't stare in awe at the police's power and lower themselves to grovelling?

Now we are gettting down to the umph...

Reality: When I am nice (sorry...) I do get very few tickets

When I am loud and tell the officers my rights I always ge a ticket.

So, simple:
No money in account keep mouth shut.
Money in account, tell em what U think..

How come you could think of that and awful-truth couldn't?

Are you smarter than awful-truth?

I don't get enough tickets to come up with a statistically-valid comparison, but I am universally polite every time I'm pulled over. And I get a ticket every time. But I've never been pulled over whilst on my bike.

Quota's not withstanding:

It's really common sense actually.

If the officer speaks to you(or lectures you) and finds that you lack comprehension and responsibility for the offence he will take the next step up and issue a ticket.

So to make it more simple: If a verbal warning is a waste of time, resort to alternative means to modify the motorists behaviour.

If it means the difference between me being polite and not getting a ticket for being a restricted rider on a 400.... easy choice and the smart one.
