Is this number plate dodgy ?

It looks like M66RSY but your editing has squashed the video so a little harder to see.

On another note.. why filter in front of this driver? Even if he hadn't blocked the ASL it is of little advantage to put your self in front of a single car.

I would have done the same - just to make the point that using the ASL does not give you an advantage - especially where I think the guy is just trying to jump the queue.

Just general driving. 99% of drivers don't know what the ASL is for. I usually wait just behind the cars so get a small tow aerodynamically off start !

I don't think so in this case. Pretty clear the driver knows the road and is undertaking the queue. Potentially the road goes back to 1 lane a bit further on?

Depends upon what mood I'm in whether I would bother to go at the front. :whistle:

We had been exchanging bits of the rod for good few miles, he was clearly getting pissed by this point, just after the lights the road merges into single file (and a bus and cycle lane) guess I shouldn't have risen to the bait

Upon checking the original footage, the plate is displaying a 9, it does look like an "Altered "S"

Report that one to the cops, they could be using it to get steal fuel.

I would have done that 5 years ago :blush: but I realized its not worth it and do similar to Fossy

Although round my way, most folk that do it aren't ignorant they are using them to cut the queue or make sure the cyclist doesn't get in front; black cabs are the biggest offenders and they should know the rules of the road. I'd just rather not have the muppet behind me.

Aren't you from Manchester? Perhaps it was Morrissey.

Personally I'd have just waited behind him in primary. ASL abuse is so common I've decided not to let it annoy me!

Could be a black number plate fixing making it look different. I have no idea on the law on that, I suppose it's a good excuse if you get pulled over. Would it be hard to work out?
