I've recently been searching for a couple of bikes to buy - and found a few nice B-plated (company registration) bikes. A quick check of the Traffic Management Branch website (plate number and engine number) displayed that the bikes had LOTS of points and fines on them, all done by traffic cameras. One 2 month old bike had 9 points and 600 rmb in fines. According to an agent I use often, camera fines/points for motorcycles were almost non-existent pre-2011, but have been gradually increasing. According to the above announcement, it appears that the frequency of camera penalties on motorcycles will continue this upward trend.

Here's where you check ...

For me, it seems only Internet Explorer works (Firefox & Chrome do not)

Because I am such a good boy, my bikes are all clean. BTW, did you know that the very pretty policewoman at the Beijing TMB counter will give you a free cookie if your DL is clean? Happened twice to me! They are only OREOs, but still ... nice gesture!

Of course, MCM members who ride with me already know that I would never speed, split lanes, ride in the emergency lane/bus lane/bicycle lane or run a light. Yup ... that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
