As in the link, are these legal, quite a few on ebay, it kinda imitates a police jacket with the word polite, and the blue checkered strip?

Probably legal depending on how it's used but IMHO a complete waste of time.

+1
The fact you're on a scooter with L plates also gives the game away somewhat

Haha. I am betting it may attract some rather impolite attention too.

Personally I don't think they should be legal unless the checker band is removed.

I wouldn't bother and why do you want to give the impression that you are a copper.

Because he has done this before when he was also willing to ride without L plates........seems people think looking like the police gives them something they lack
