    It will be a simple barcode or some such that digital cameras can read from 100m at 140km/h. It will be introduced for tax avoidance reasons because rego will keep going up and more people will stop paying and we all know this AA speed camera thing is a crock.

    Failure to display the barcode will result in seizure of the bike. Job jobbed.

    Talking of number plates, saw YACANT last week. Not sure how that one slipped through. Normally I think that when I see a personal plate but this one made me chuckle.

    I have wondered why the existing rego cards have a barcode.

    Somewhat off topic, but there was a BMW Series 3 in Christchurch a couple of years back with the plate ELIXIR.

    Every time I saw it I though to myself "I bet 'e does"

    From memory there was a local KBer had "cahn". Which was quoting Fred Gassit I believe.

    How long before rego stickers are gone? They got rid of the tax disk in the U.K. Don't renew, expect a fine in the post. Anyone who is interested types your number into some device that confirms car is all legal which for them is tax, MOT and insurance. Then again the uk police forces are by and large more concerned with HOW you drive, not the speed you drive at.

    Then again, you might get stopped in unusual ways...

    Rego stickers have been gone for years.....different colour for a different year, it was easy to spot.
    Haven't the big brother cameras on certain thoroughfares into london already have number recognition for vehicles? Any thing picked up on the data is relayed through to plod for them to go scouting for said vehicle.

    All their technology means five eighths of fuck all if some revenue collecting agency doesn't tap the keys and put in the information. I got stopped on our highway for a motorcycle only check about six weeks ago. Warranted and Rego brand new a week or so earlier. The uniformed tax man fiddling with his electronic notebook asked me to get off my bike and accompany him to one of the five cars they had to pull up a few bikes as my bike was not registered, Fuck off, I said, the bike is registered and licenced, and made him check my sticker...Oh sorry, he said, it doesn't register on my 'gizmo', have a good day...cahntz

    ANPR cameras are in NZ ... some on patrol cars in each region .... and some I think at fixed speed camera sites. The bill is in the mail ....
