    Two-up with L plates?

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

    Cheers

    Think if you are doubling the bike owner because he/she cant double you and you cant talk your way out of that there is issues beyond the L plate.

    You can ride with an L plate, provided you observe all rules and limitations of an L license.

    That said either the cop is a dickhead or you would have to be a muppet to get a fine. I had no issues when I got pulled. I just explained we were on our way to a quieter street to practice. Circa 2006-7. I am sure reception would have been different at 2 am.

    If YOU have a full license ... NO issues. A "Fuck the Police" sticker would have more issues.

    Although ... attracting the attention of plod is never a good idea ...

    It doesn't take much to make your bike not up to WOF standard.

    Just read the legislation guys & gals....

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

    As to whether anyone has ever been ticketed for it.... I doubt it. Rastus?

    Do you really have to talk about yourself in the third person?

    Nope. It is the same as an L plate on the parents car. They can't only ticket the vehicle for road-worthiness. They can't ticket you for exceeding license restriction - if there is no restriction. License conditions are just that - restrictions, and are worded that way in the law.
    i.e. cop can't give you ticket for not exceeding license conditions, unless it causes a hazard on the road.

    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.
