The d*ckheads that wear those polite notice jackets are usually to be found at the front of a line of slow moving traffic riding at the speed of a snail.
I'm not against yellow reflective jackets any thing to help other drivers stop using us as target practice, but that wording has to my mind only one purpose to mislead other drivers into thinking it's a police bike and rider.

Absolutely correct and yet people don't get prosecuted for wearing them or selling them so why did the guy in this story ends up being fined for something that was far less suggestive.

Might it have been because he was a banker and had a poor attitude when spoken to by the police officer that stopped him. Surprising how a few words of friendly advice told to watch your speed changes to a ticket if you get gobby with the officer.

I suspect his attitude played a part but also the blue light on the bike wont have helped his cause.

Under construction regulations and use you are not allowed to use a Battenberg colour scheme. From what I can remember, colour of the Battenberg is not the issue hence the reason the AA have stopped using it on their vans now. You also cannot have blue lights on the vehicles. All the show vehicles you see in police markings, all have their blue lights covered up when being driven on the road.

Interesting, so it wasn't him, as such, it was the bike because of the blue light.

Was following an Audi Q7 yesterday that presumably had changed the lights for his rear number plate to blue ones. did actually look quite good to be honest, not sure if a traffic cop would agree though?

Number plate lights you shouldn't be abel to see from the rear of the car as they are white normally. What you are probably seeing is the reflection which, believe it or not, is actually legal.

No, these were blatantly blue lights, they really stood out and i even got closer to have a good look.

Going to work this morning I saw a car with a strip of very bright blue leds all the way along the front bumper and when the dickhead overtook me in a 30 zone I saw on his rear bumper two full length bumper strips of leds again, one strip was red and the other strip was green, but I was passing through that shithole Bradford at the time so its probably normal there.

fazersharp · « **Reply #44 on:** 17 February 2018, 10:22:39 am »

As side note why is it that you have to have illuminated rear numberplate but not the front ?

There's a UK company that sell ex-forces vehicles (to the public), when they become redundant to the Service.
They have Ambulances still covered in all their stickers etc, a lot of Police vans (some still with the Cages in the back), Bikes, Catering vans, etc.

What do you do with those?

focced_off · « **Reply #47 on:** 26 February 2018, 01:47:54 pm »

On my "big bike" lessons, we had a biker overtake us with a "POLITE NOTICE" bib on. Like above.
I could hear my instructor cursing and swearing at him/her in my headset!... He disapproved majorly!

I think you need to be a bit of a saddo to want to join the POLITE FORCE!

What I dont get is the fact that every 'biker' I know hates these jackets and usually the people that wear them.... so who is fucking buying um haha
At what point does anyone decide it's a good idea to make yourself universally hated by both bikers and cagers
