Two-up with L plates?

[willytheekid]

Since you didn't fucking bother:

A person must not drive, on a road, a motor vehicle that displays an “L” plate as specified in clause 66 unless that person—

(a) holds a learner licence of the class that relates to that vehicle in accordance with Schedule 3; or
(b) immediately prior to driving has been, or is about to be, accompanying the person in paragraph (a) in accordance with clause 16(1)(a); or
(c) holds a driving instructor or testing officer endorsement and is driving a vehicle used for purposes connected with that endorsement.

Yeah...figure's that they would have some bullshit! revenue making rule that has absolutely NOTHING to do with "roadsafety" about this minor "offence"

...User sure does pay nowdays eh

As space cadet has so correctly pointed out. Here is your exit clause.
Pity space cadet thought everyone else was wrong.

Note, I don't believe that the exemption in clause (b) will apply to motorcycles (read clause 16(1)(a) to find out why)

fucking pussies. I go 12 oclock with a chubby whore on the back.

Before or after you've put her down?

[avgas]

Clause A states holding for 2 years. Does the op not have that?

Other than that it's a very clean exit clause as the rider was 2 up - the owner of said L plate could be on the back. But also it could be that the OP is going to or from the owner of the L plate re: supervising a rider.

Which is why I clearly stated "parents car" in my quote....... as the same except applies to anyone who "supervises" a rider.

For a know-it-all you don't understand what you read very well.

Before or after you've put her down?

who said anything about a 'her'?

[Maha]

Can I get ticketed for being 2 up on a bike with L plates when I have a full license?

Cheers

Why not just take the L plate off?

who said anything about a 'her'?

...Caution: over inflating your special friend could cause harm.

Clause A states holding for 2 years.

OK.

16(1)(a) states
the holder must not drive the vehicle (unless driving a motorcycle, moped, or an all-terrain vehicle) unless the holder is accompanied

The bold section is key. In other words, what it is saying is, if you're riding a motorcycle/moped/ATV this clause does not apply.

Hence why they state the conditions separately for motorcycles in 16(1)(d).
A clause which states no passengers (no exceptions) and is also not referenced by clause 104.

For a know-it-all you don't understand what you read very well.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by this.

[Akzle]

Why did you not take the L plate off?

fuck me, it echoes in here.

you must have caught the computer-AIDS that i had...

Well thanks KB, this has been more entertaining than I thought
Yep, I'm gonna be taking a learner out to a quiet spot to practice
I've had a full for almost 30 yrs
I think I'll take the L plate off

Rock on

OK.

16(1)(a) states
the holder must not drive the vehicle (unless driving a motorcycle, moped, or an all-terrain vehicle) unless the holder is accompanied

A clause which states no passengers (no exceptions) and is also not referenced by clause 104.

Holder is license holder not L plate holder.
He didn't break 16 1 d as he has a full license.
So both clauses don't apply.

[Erelyes]

Holder is license holder not L plate holder.
He didn't break 16 1 d as he has a full license.

Of course they wouldn't be breaking 16(1)(d). Didn't say they would be.

So both clauses don't apply.

Great! We're getting somewhere! So if we agree that nothing under 16 has any reference whatsoever to our situation, then we can agree that the exemption under 104(b) cannot apply.

Therefore, if a rider doesn't hold a 6L licence, and the bike has an L plate on it, an offence is committed. Pillion or no.
