Stopped at 31mph in a 30!!!

Well, he didn't exactly make that clear in his original invitation....[/QUOTE]

I know it's still early, but have you been at the claret already?
Bleeding obvious, it was.

And I wasn't even thinking of putting a chip from a credit card on top,
to make it look like there was a chip in the plate. Oh no, not me

Can't see why there would be TBH. What info could they reasonably store
on it:
a) The fact that there would be a chip makes it a legal plate?
b) The number on the plate?
c) Make/model/type of vehicle?

Sounds daft.

 

But the van, equipment etc. is a sunk cost which would depreciate as
much whether or not your wife was stopped. The policeman's time also.

The only real 'cost' here was an opportunity cost- the policeman could
have issued a ticket if he'd caught someone else speeding whilst he was
dealing with your wife.

Oh, come on TOG, your conspiracy theories are worse than the ones
I have to listen to from my Muslim colleagues at work! For a start,
number plates are made by independent contractors, not the Gov't (I'd see
the point if you were talking about NSW or British Columbia) so how would
"they" coerce them to incorporate RFID chips without it spilling out --
and remember there'd have to be a database linking RFID serial number to
registration mark, which could _only_ be populated at the point of
manufacture.

Not necessarily... if the contractors base material had the RFID chips
embedded then all that happens is a plate gets made and put on the bike.

With all of the surveillance equipment out there obviously the cameras
now have RFID sensors which link the plate to the number plate (OCR) so
they can fill the database.

 

I heard from a friend that there are chips in tax disks now. Is this
complete bollox also?

 

hills are already developing chipped number plates , and as they are one of
the largest suppliers of number plates an / or the associated bits in the
country
then they are well placed to supply mass quantities of anything

They often work with the plod identifying pieces of number plate , they
have a database of every type style etc in use in the uk

pay there bills on time too

 

Undoubtedly. Tou'd never keep anything like that out of The Sun.
....or the Grauniad...

Possibly; but there have been chips in newspapers for years now.

 

I thought they stopped putting chips in newspapers years ago.

 

Ah yes; the Potato Protection Act.
