I ride loads in Wales.

Just a few ideas which can save your license or grief off the cops.

1. Wear a clear visor & use shades instead.

2. Fit a full size numberplate.

3. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN If you are paying attention you can see the camera vans & speed traps miles away.

4. Read the local papers - they tell you where the traps are going to be!

5. Keep off the main routes where the cops congregate. There are some superb roads where you will never see a cop.( or many cars )

6. Get up early. I get back home just as most bikes are going out and getting stuck behind caravans etc. which make for dodgy/dangerous overtakes.

I do have a set of termi's fitted but have got away with it so far - mainly because I follow the above.

I've tried to buck the system in the past & got banned etc.

Now I just want an easy life!
