Got a yellow :(

[JaR6d]

Was heading down the freeway yesterday, doing the good 100km/h thing, and passed a couple of bike cops who had pulled over a car on the side.
Both of them watched me as i went passed, then one sprinted to his bike and took off chasing me.

Pulled over to see what the problem was (didnt think i was doing anything wrong), thinkning it was jsut a random license check.
Guy says that they chased a bike like this the other night and it got away...

Anyways, he checked over the bike and ended up giving me a yellow sticker for my license plate (cant see it from 50m away aparently).
Says that theres been a heap of bikers doing runners latley.

Annyoing thing is that I'd been pulled over twice before for a RBT and neither of them said anything about it.

Bah, looks like its back to the stocker one for a bit

.

Because if you got away with a yellow for that, you did pretty well.. It should be a mandatory court appearance.

I got pulled on Scarb beach road a while back and was going down the same way when someone pulled over and told the cops of a guy beating his misses up at the shop down the road. Cops immediately hoped in car and sped off, pity they had already given me speeding ticket for 72 in 60 zone.

Unless you&#39;re fucking lucky.

But yes, everyone knows a plate there is cop bait, suck it up and be thankful it wasn&#39;t worse.

[BigTim]

Spewing mate. That eliminator looked hot.
Do what g0zer said. It&#39;s worth it.

[rgvlee]

50 metres... can anyone point me to where it says this in the regs?

25. Number plate to be fixed on vehicle
(1) A responsible person for, or a person in charge of, a vehicle shall rigidly fix and keep the identification tablet or number plates of the vehicle thereon so that -

(a) in the case of a motor cycle or a trailer or jinker as defined in the Road Traffic (Vehicle Standards) Regulations 2002, the identification tablet or number plate is fixed and kept in a conspicuous place on the back of the vehicle, in an upright position and so that the characters thereon are clearly visible and legible, by day and by night; and

(b) in the case of a motor vehicle not referred to in paragraph (a), where the identification tablet or number plate is duplicated, one is fixed and kept in a conspicuous place in front, and one is fixed and kept in a conspicuous place on the back of the vehicle, in an upright position and so that the characters thereon are clearly visible and legible by day and by night; and

© in the case of an identification tablet or number plate that is a special plate that consists only of the expression }W.A.~, or }Western Australia~, and numerals, the special plate is mounted on the vehicle within a reflective frame supplied by the Director General that provides a border of not less than 10 mm around the perimeter of the special plate; and

(d) in any case, the characters on the identification tablet or number plate are not covered in any way by any type of film or cover, unless it is a transparent film or cover that -

(i) is of a type approved by the Director General as being non-reflective; and

(ii) bears the name of its manufacturer and its serial or other identification number in a conspicuous place, but not so as to obscure the characters on the identification tablet or number plate; and

(iii) is kept clean, in good condition and free from discoloration, heavy scratching and any marking other than those referred to in subparagraph (ii).

(2) A member of the Police Force may seize and take possession of an identification tablet or number plate that he has reasonable grounds to believe -

(a) has not been issued in connection with a licence that is in force for the current licensing period;

(b) is fixed to a vehicle other than that for which it was issued; or

© should have been returned to the Director General in accordance with these regulations.

[Regulation 25 amended in Gazette 11 Sep 1981 p. 3926; 2 Feb 1982 p. 402; 24 May 1985 p. 1762; 18 Nov 1988 p. 4531; 28 Nov 1995 p. 5521; 22 Dec 1995 p. 6196; 31 Jan 1997 p. 683; 1 Jul 1997 p. 3273; 23 Dec 2005 p. 6284; 28 Nov 2006 p. 4907.][/b]

The only distance measure I have seen refers to the number plate light.

84. Number plate lights
(2) When on, the number plate light or lights must illuminate a number plate on the rear of the vehicle with white light, so the characters on the number plate can be read at night-time 20 m from the rear of the vehicle.[/b]

Naturally you&#39;re boned anyway, no reflector... and I couldn&#39;t see a plate light... and the hugger probably obscures the plate when you are riding the bike... but I wouldn&#39;t mind knowing where the 50 metres comes into it.
