    Because if it is complete falsies, then any number check requested by
    a policeman in a car will tell them that, and you would shortly find
    yourself with some *very* awkward questions to answer.

    If they carry out a check, and it returns a valid vehicle matching the
    one they are following, then you only have a problem if they are going
    to stop you anyhow.

    Of a nice respectable person that does not speed, or kill people.

    Because having no plate or a fictitious one gives away that fact as soon
    as they get in touch with the DVLA. If you're on (say) a motorway, it
    could be only minutes before you've got a jam sandwich sniffing your
    tail.

    Having one which matches a different but similar vehicle offloads the
    blame on someone else - who will (it is hoped) be able to provide alibi
    when they get a letter.

  9. ..... and if you get a pull while sporting a plate belonging to some
    other vehicle, you will face increasingly hostile questioning and
    subsequent prosecution that makes being done for speeding look like a
    wank in the park.

  10. Simple way round that one , when you have found the bike you wish to clone
    ask DVLA for the owners details , tell them you have knocked it over or its
    been in a hit and run and they will quite happily provide you with the
    information you require for £2.00

    When pulled just reel off the other persons details really common in Brum
    now , plod will do a pnc all details match , they give you your ticket in
    wrong name and off you go

    one drawer back is if the cloned bikes owner has any outstanding warrants ,
    then your in shit

    *ding*

    no plate at all isn't even an endorseable offence. Though you do have
    to pay a vehicle rectification notice (40 quid when I got one) and (if
    over the age for 'em) get it MOTed.

  13. Why don't you do it then, and report back?

    You fail to grasp the fact that if you get stopped having deliberately
    attempted to pervert the course of justice (even if it's just a
    numberplate) you are in deep shit. It's always been the case and the
    only reason the cops don't jump on broken/dirty plates from a great
    height is the likelihood of it being genuine. A moody plate that matches
    another vehicle the same colour/year/model as yours *and for which you
    give the other owner's name* isn't just an error at the dealer - it's
    deliberate and you *will* get reamed.


    Quite apart from that; if you do it once and get away with it, a local
    copper will remember you and next time you certainly won't be so lucky.

    A misplaced digit, broken/muddy plate is so much more believable.

    What is the time between flashes and what is the spacing of the lines on
    the road?

    Remember that you need to know what fractions of a second are between
    increments.... 70 mS *could* actually be 74.9999 mS if the apparatus works
    in 5mS steps... or 79.999999 mS if it works in 10mS steps!

    There's a really simple way to end this "scheme" - stop speeding. It really
    is that simple.

    you're not going to make a habit of posting to uk.rec.motorcycles, are
    you?

    if so, it could get confusing.
