Just when you thought you could get away with it. Most speed cameras aimed at catching motorcycles in Europe will take a pretty picture of you and your motorcycle from behind, since in most countries there is no license plate in the front. Cars have them in the front, but not bikes.
Paul Collins, a 26 year old biker in the UK rode past a speed camera at 48 mph in a 30 mph zone, giving the speed camera the finger. No problems right? There’s no license plate in the front, so no worries. Right?
It could have worked if Paul had kept his motorcycle helmet visor closed. But he had it wide open, so the photo taken allowed the police to id him. Later on he was spotted riding on the same road, and his license plate written down. After a nice visit by the local cops, Paul was kindly asked to appear before a judge.
The judge give him a £177 fine , and was docked 5 points from his license.
Next time, wear a dark visor, and keep it closed Paul…
