Last time I was pulled over was a couple of months ago on my way back from a race meeting. There was a car driving in front of me when a cop stepped out in the road and put up his hand. The car stopped so I did too. The cop waved the driver on and motioned me to pull over. By the time he got to me my helmet was off and my licence was in my hand.
"Are you only stopping bikes today?"
He checked my licence and mumbled something, checked the licence disc on the bike, then walked round the back and said "your plate is a bit small but at least you have one so I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. Ride safe" and walked away.
Lucky break! I have heard stories of bikes being impounded for having no plate or little plates like mine.
