Just finishing late shift.

Stopped 2 bikers during the shift, both at checkpoints. We were viewing all car drivers licences, so I asked for the riders licences as well.

One, on a Suzuki Intruder, had a learners cage licence. Doh !! Forbidden from riding until he got a licence.

The other, on a GN125, had an expired car and bike licence. Forbidden from driving until he gets a licence.

Two bikes, two strikes. And people wonder why bikers get stopped for random checks.

i wonder about many things .............

Yes most important. By not showing up to pay the fee by the due date he was instantly an incapable driver.

Strange system really.

Ive still got a lifetime licence I bought and paid for in 1988. Strangely, even though I have honoured all its conditions, the government have not.

Perhaps you just lived longer than they expected ...

Ah but there's the rub. While you honoured the conditions set by the government under which the license was issued, that government no longer exists.

Every three years the bets are off.

All the more reason to take demands for compliance with any new rort with a grain of salt.

As if I needed another...

Nope, the terms and conditions are set by order in council, which is Parliament. Faces changes, Parliament does not.
