Yesterday me and my mate when to this hill were theres a 30mph speed limit, so we got some cardboard wrote w@nk3rs on the cardboard and put then on our back. Then we got to 39mph on our bikes riding next to each other and throught the camera and it flashed

They will be thinking what weird number plates
