possible speeding ticket?
i overtook a couple of cars today, and maybe touched on about 90, i was backing off when i saw a van of doom about 5-600m (maybe more) down the
straight so slammed on the anchors... is this close enough to be caught? there was a landy ahead, so that coulda blocked the view

just have to wait and see 7 days of sweating then ask for a picture if you do get tagged. Hope lucks on your side

the angles were wrong for a good photoshoot...

Most loop holes concerning non identifcation of driver (ie refusing to supply signed evidence of who was driving, or right to silcene) have mostly
been closed.
If you have an (illegal) stick on plate then that might help as it may not show up on camera, but as its a constant recording video not a flashed
still pic then they can usually wind the tape forward until they can see it clearly.
Just hope it was an ANPR camera not a speed camera!

I have had from My MOT guys that the numberplate must be visable from the front of the car
It does not state were from and at what height, the only thing i would not do is alter the size and font, as this does annoy the boys in blue, and
when they get upset, they may find somthing else not right

Last time I got stopped, I was show the gun whick had clocked me at 487m, so they can probably get a lock at 5-600m

My m8 who is a smurf, as in Greece they wear blue uniforms, told me that he managed to get someone on nearly 800m. He had tried for longer but his
hand wasn't that steady.

The laser works to 1000m max range. Getting a lock at that isn't easy though so I'm told.

Its not the locationf of sticky plates that the issue, as you say, as long as its visibl you can place a plate where you like on the front of the
car.
Stickys are illegal as there is no BS mark on the relective part of them (if they even are reflective), that is the only place they fail to meet the
regs.
