    Has anyone been ticket for breaching 70km/h learner restriction?

    Has anyone here ever been ticketed for breaching the 70Km/h learner restriction?

    If so did you do anything else to annoy the police officer or break any other rule at the time?

    I am keen to know if this rule is still being policed?

    Many thanks in advance for your responses.

    Now you decide...which is it?

    i been riding for about 6 months (time for me to go get my restricted) and have been going over the 70km limit, no L plate and after 10pm many a time for the last 5 months and 29 days - as long as you don't do anything that draws attention to yourself cops don't seem to mind, just don't do anything silly to draw attention to yourself, or crash.

    Yes! no, didn't do anything wrong (apart from going faster than 70). Did 98km/h on the motorway. $400

    Oh and the cop was in a really bad mood - just the way the cookie crumbles... [I was a bit less 'understanding' at the time]

    Did you have your L plate on?

    I am not aware of anyone getting a ticket for only exceeding the 70km/h rule. Generally people seem to get done for something else (no L plate, after 10.30pm, riding at 110+km/h etc), and the 70km/h thing gets tacked on with everything else.

    There have been a number of threads about this over the years. If you do a search, you will get some more opinions on the matter.
    The road to hell is paved...

    Can you tell us how long ago this incident was?

    Also curious to know if you had your L-Plates on?

    thanks in advance.

    Happened middle of March close to Silverdale (Hazard county )

    Yes. Did have my l-plate on.


    Best is... had to make the 'donation' about a week before I qualified to sit my restricted. Obviously have my 'R' now

    I got done whilst riding in a safe manner doing 103km/h with my L-Plate on on the Wellington motorway north of Haywards hill.

    I was polite to the female officer who was in a plain clothes car and she gave me a about how I fell into the at-risk bracket for motorcycle age/bike/yadda yadda and even though she was wrong about this and I listened to her rant politely she still gave me a $400 dollar ticket and 25 demerits.

    I have been driving for 15 years and have(had) a squeaky clean license.

    She was a bitch for sure and must have been on the rag that week but still, it does happen. I never wore my L-plate again and never got pulled over again.

    If I got a ticket going under 110kmph I wouldn't be able to stop myself abusing the cop *english accent* "Are you having a laugh?"

    Probably throw it back at him to be honest, even the politicans are saying it's a dumb rule ffs.....

    I have respect for intelligent police, and police who are reasonable but not the arseholes.

    I don't ride with a L-plate for this reason. DOing 70km/h on a highway is a lot more dangerous than me (a learner) doing 100 km/h.
