Hello, I would like to ask about your opinion on posting registration plates of other vehicles who are directly endangering you (like one in clip below). People in comments are calling me gay for this, especialy when they see my other videos where I'm speeding and doing few other things (which EVERYONE in this country does). Honestly, would you go strictly 90kph (the legal limit) on straight and wide road where you meet one car per two kilometers?

I'm quite calm rider and my average travel speed on countryside is about 120kph and in cities I respect and obey the road laws and rules. I don't have needs to race with the wind like some other bikers or even car drivers tend to do. I want to enjoy riding, not to show others how I can twist the throttle.

PS: If you watch one of my other videos, you can see me overtaking yellow Benz. Thats my dad and he asked me to show him how it sounds on road so I made him a favor or two. Also see the road is pretty empty and uncluttered.

PSS: Sorry for my english, it's not as good as I would like it to be :P
 
I think showing registration plates is fine, I would even put the plate as a tag for the video. What's the worst that could happen? You are asked to remove it?

Of course this depends on the laws in Czech Republic.
 
LeedsRider93: I have never head about any law forbidding showing registration plates. Everyone can see them on TV, newspapers, internet or at real so it's nothing illegal about that. Actualy, I didn't even had to write the reg. plate on the video because it's well visible after all and I could spare myself all of that crap in comments.

Daffee: It was just a short trip across the city to buy something, but I guess no-one can be save where there are car drivers like that guy :/

kawiboy59: Yea I've seen some of these videos so I thought it's nothing bad. I'm not even planning to keep posting videos of people doing wrong/abusing road laws except of those who will directly endanger me.
 
There's nothing wrong with posting the number plate, but in my experience its a bit pointless and people might see you as being a bit arragant for doing it.

The cyclist boys religiously tag their video with reg plates and every now and again they find repeat offenders because it pops up in the related video section lol.
 
It fine to me, i wont ever remember them if i see them but im sure if you put them in the tags of the videos like others said we will see repeat offenders :P

Shouldn't worry about people calling you Gay, im 17 and even i think thats immature? Just calling you 'gay' is stupid, what has your sexuality got to do with it?

Ah well, just ignore them, thats what i say!!!!!!!
 
We need a really clever but effective(non-violent) way to teach cagers a lesson when it comes to endangering our lives out of pure ignorance and impatience. I don't think posting the tag does any good, unless it makes you feel better.
I've asked our local police if they would be interested in video footage of blatant offenses like reckless driving(DUI stuff) or littering(something that just burns me up). I was told "Not really," and that I'd mostly be wasting my time and theirs. The prosecuting attorney would have to watch the vid, then decide whether or not to pursue the case, if they did pursue the case I would have to appear in court as a witness, and some other BS legal hoops I'd have to jump thru to actually get the offender taken care of. So I've resorted to screaming and cussing at the offenders. I've had about 5-6 out of 20ish people go back and pick up their trash after letting them know I have it on video coming out of their hand and plan to turn it over to the authorities unless they'd like to go back and be on video cleaning it up. I'm about to start tossing lit cigs back into peoples cars... The cig butt fairy that's suppose to magically clean all the butts off the road does not seem to exist.

I saw a cager in Houston almost kill a biker right beside me by pulling out in front of him.(gixxer that had to lock it up and almost lay it down to keep from hitting the asshat) Then the cager flipped the guy on the bike off..(as if he was the one in the wrong) The biker caught him stopped at a light and broke his drivers side window with his helmet and beat the guy inside the car with it(the helmet) for a bit, then pissed on the guy thru the broken window right in the middle of Houston traffic. He then calmly zipped up and put his helmet on, got back on the bike and filtered to the front of the line. I almost missed the light because I was laughing so hard. The guy in the cage just pulled out of the road and up onto the sidewalk to wait for the cops.
I wouldn't have gone to those extremes to make my point, but I'm sure the message got across loud and clear to the cager and everyone around. Yes, it makes us look "bad", but if "bad" translates to "more noticeable," then it's not all "bad"...
I think in that situation the guy in the car truly didn't see the rider because he was in a big ass hurry to get into traffic in front of the guy behind the gixxer. Then out of general douchebaggery he just had to add insult to injury with the extension of the middle finger. All could have been avoided if he would have just looked and seen the bike(which I'm about 99% sure he will do from now on) or the beating could have probably been avoided by simply rolling the window down and sincerely apologizing for his mistake after the fact.
I honestly felt like getting out shaking the guys hand on the gixxer for a job well done,,, but he did just finish pissing w/out washing up.

Yeah sorry, i just get concerned when people don't wear gear, its nothing personal, and yeah as you said accidents can happen at anytime, and to be honest I am sick of people telling me that bikes are death traps when the risk of dying is greatly reduced by wearing gear!
 
I look at it this way. Plates are public. I cant go anywhere without the risk of somebody reading my tag. I dont worry about it. And for what its worth I have seen a couple people get ticketed after footage of them being douchebags have been shown to the police.
