Think you can avoid getting caught by a speed camera by covering your license plate? Think again! In Miaoli’s Zhunan Township, a scooter rider who was going 105kph in a 60kph zone tried hooking his foot over his plate to avoid getting caught by the camera. But police tracked him down anyway from security cameras, identifying him by his helmet and clothing.

In this ridiculous photo, a scooter driver holds tight to the handlebars while leaning forward. If you look further down, you can see his left foot is hooked like a crab. But he’s not trying to show off. He’s trying to avoid a speeding ticket.

The photo was taken on a section of Gongyi Road in Miaoli’s Zhunan Township. It’s a busy roadway with a speed limit of 60kph, but the driver was going 105. Seeing a speed camera up ahead, he came up with the wild idea to block the plate with his foot to avoid the ticket.

- What a punk.
- Would a sensible rider do that?
- No. No way. Definitely not in the morning.

But law enforcement was on it. The driver thought he was being clever, but experienced police officers are no pushovers. They checked security cameras along his route and identified him by his helmet and clothing.

Lin Hung-ming
Miaoli traffic brigade deputy captain
He not only ignored the 60kph speed limit, going far over at 105kph, but acted recklessly by using his foot to cover his plate when passing a speed camera.

You can cover your plate like that for a while, but you’ll eventually get tired and give the police a chance to catch you! Since he was going well above the speed limit and intentionally tried to obscure his plate, he will be fined between NT$6,000 and NT$36,000 and faces a six-month suspension of his vehicle registration.
