Maybe they are all illuminated, and I can't tell because of my stonking bright headlight? Must admit, I only noticed the plate illumination, when I exported the still.

That particular car has small lights illuminating it's number plate, but most other plates which aren't lit can be quite clear at night, when only illuminated by the brighter streetlights. It's also being lit by the car behind. I haven't tried the lowest exposure (-3 of 6 settings, +3 being the...

I got these compatible replacements, which last a lot longer than the 900mah batteries supplied with the camera. They might even last two hours, but I can't say for sure yet, because I've only recently got them and they don't get to full capacity until they've been fully charged and discharged a...

My headlight is too bright for the camera, a cheap Crosstour 4k. Even at night, it manages to capture number plates, as long as my 1800lm headlight isn't on, or is flashing in horrifyingly fast and bright mode. It also helps if cars aren't speeding past. Here's a number plate while it's in...

BRING BACK HANGING

A 20mph limit wouldn't be practical downhill. I'd get through brake pads at too high a rate! :eek:

When the time comes, I'll take my battery pack apart and try Aldi. They might object to receiving too many cells at once. Until then, I've got a couple of dead 18650s and a few 14500 cells to give them.

I've read the Police have number plate deblurring software. Those could be Ds or blocky Os. I'd hate to waste Police time without the certainty of at least one letter and it's position. I've tried every trick I have on those stills, but there is too much blur or too much light. I'll...

I advise not cycling at night unless necessary. I think the ISO limitation is the problem. Before I buy any camera, I search Youtube for "GoPro 10 Hero night video test" or "GoPro 10 Hero low light video test" (in the case of GoPro 10) to avoid those useless and annoying "Unboxing" videos...

NASA's gears made with Bulk Metallic Glass have very high wear resistsnce and don't need lubrication. It's only a matter of time before they're 3D printed using that material to be far to expensive for bicycles...

I won't cylce without a camera... insurance claims, Police action if necessary, it's all too important. I've ordered some new high capacity batteries for my low grade camera, but even the GoPros top out at ISO 6400 (same as mine), and their shutter speed still isn't fast enough to capture...

The beep was my beep of alarm, thinking I was about to get flattened. I'd rather make an annoying beep than suffer in silence, when something like this happens. At least the driver knows that I know he did something alarming. Otherwise he would have not given this a second's thought. If I could...

This van driver made me feel rather threatened. After driving past less than two feet away from my wing mirror, he returned to shout "You f*cking! (something)" from the other side of the road. My camera completely failed to capture his number plate, so from now on I'm under-exposing all of my...

Does the tarmac on narrower country lanes bulge more in the middle than wider roads, causing more wear on one side of the rear tyre?

I use just a spoke wrench with a single slot, like the one below. I attach zipties to the bike frame instead of using a truing stand. Listening to the sound spokes make when plucked like harp strings, can reveal severley overtightened spokes...

Mine charges £15 an hour, was told it could cost £30 "If it's a very warped wheel", so I learned how to do it myself by watching videos on Youtube.

It's taken quite a while for the suspect to be arrested, this happened on the 6th of July. Perhaps the Police were forced to investigate further, after the insurance company had determined the 60% (last time I looked) threshold of the probability of successful litigation had been reached?

The list of victims suggests to me at least, that the household bought the electric scooter from the suspect, which was imported, repaired or modified. Woman 44, man in his 50s, three other people, aged 13, 16 and 26. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-62264601

In that case, the importer suspect could have simply bought a complete electric scooter containing cheap batteries via Amazon or ebay sourced from outside the UK, and this may not have been a DIY project at all. Or through Aliexpress or any of a myriad of other online souks.
