Can you work out this numberplate?
Anybody any ideas what this numberplate could be:
http://www.woodall.me.uk/car/ I've tried everything I think it could possibly be in https://www.mycarcheck.com/ with no luck. The police didn't have any joy either. Anyone any suggestions for a better camera than this one - the Oregon Scientific ATC2K? The real problem is that the jpeging is too aggressive - but I suspect the SD card won't be fast enough if it's less aggressive although a frame rate of 15 frames per second would be ok if you could get good images.

There are a couple of people using YouTube that have better cameras, but I don't know what they are. I don't think using the camera in the rain helps, there is a large loss of clarity, and I don't know much an improved camera would help. |

You might see if the Mobibox does a better job; a bit pricy, but very small & light, and 640x480x30fps, max 2gb sd card. What did BV02 OCM do that attracted your attention? |

However the car in the picy looks like a 3 door. Alfa do a good job of hiding the fact that their 5 doors have 5 doors. See this pic: http://blog.drecom.jp/sillymgm/img/...ack_suv_800.jpg The door handle for the back doors is at the back of the window. |

However the car in the picy looks like a 3 door. In other frames that V looks like a W, also in some a Y. I think the W is clearer. The M is very hard to read.

Umm... I've made a jpeg of the average of the best four images and make it BV02 DCM, anyone tried that? Roger Thorpe |

The passenger in the car tried to push me off my bike yesterday morning. I'd hoped the camera would have caught him leaning out of the window but its field of view isn't wide enough. Given the weather yesterday, you wouldn't expect cars to be driving around with their window wide open. The car passed a little close but nothing exceptionally unusual. I could tell hear was a bit close before he passed me but I didn't know exactly how close. Because I didn't know exactly how close I deliberately rode over a sunken (wet) manhole cover rather than go around it. If I had gone around it instead (as I would have preferred) then I'd have been 15-20cm closer when the passenger touched me (I can't really say hit me because I think I was on the limits of his reach) and given the conditions yesterday (the roads were very slippery) things could have turned out much worse. I've had things shouted at me, I've even been hit by the wing mirror of a passing car, but never before have I had anything like this happen. On one occasion I actually had the passenger shy away from me as the car passed too close - the car window was open and I heard the passenger say to the driver "that was close" (it was!). Tim. |
