Had a chat with a bike cop.

**skidMark** · 17th October 2009, 14:52

Well he went past the almighty katana rrr...rr swung a U turn, i pulled into carpark, he never put his lights on...

but anyway hopped off my bike and there he was...

blah blah long story short license breaches the risk i took blah blah blah

i know...

what i do question is...

he would not let me ride home, said i effectively had no license because the bike was over cc, well... i have a bike learners... yes i was breaching license conditions, but as far as i am aware he cannot forbid me to ride it home, ie if you get pulled over for after hours on a car restricted license they let you drive home...

but no he said i should have also been forbidden to ride home other times i have been pulled over for license breaches... so i had to get my mate to come pick me up and a whole lot of fucking around just to get the bike home...

nothing i can do about the ticket i knew what would happen if i got stopped blah blah...

but i don't see how he can say no i wont let you ride home because you are in breach of a license condition, he said it is effectively the same as having no license...

which is a crock of shit...

i think our coppers need to do there homework, credit though he seemed a genuinely nice guy just doing his job, but i still think he had no right to forbid me to take it home because i would be breaching a license condition, in the past i have been told if you get pulled up on way home show them this ticket etc etc.

he told me i either had to have a mate with a full show up within 15 minutes to ride it home, or he would take the key to central so i couldn't ride it and to pick the key up later, he told me to push the bike home...

obviously i laughed in his face and told him i'm not pushing a 250kg bike 5km's of mostly steep uphill home...

they over pay cops.

EDIT: i am not over my demerits, nor am i disqualified he told me i was on 50 demerits and this ticket is another 25 demerits, yet forbid me to ride the bike, said i can still drive car etc obviously

cus your a wally and you let him get away with it

**R6_kid:Me** · 17th October 2009, 15:02

Cops are supposed to do the same for restricted drivers if they have passengers (kick the passengers out before they let the person go) or not let them drive off if after 10pm (depending on by how much obviously).

It's basically like saying "you're in trouble for doing this, but I'm going to let you continue breaking the law".

Sounds like you got your assed served to you.

I strongly disagree. He would have got away with it anyway.

With you on the Wally part.

Oh dear Mark. You shouda' texted me. I'd have come and ridden your bike home for you.

Seriously though, even though it didn't turn out well good on ya for pulling over even if his lights weren't on. Could have been worse if you'd tried to do a runner....

**paulmac:Me** · 17th October 2009, 15:06

i pulled into a car park as if thats where i was going anyway, he was behind me and my rego was out so was hoping he wouldn't follow, i figured chances were he would light me up anyway.

so.... who wants a cheap katana/ swap for a 250...

Not as adorable as an anti-semitic redneck with a mental age of 12...
Anyway... Was there really any problem with saying "yes I'll push it home" and riding it off the moment he left? He probably thought you were retarded for not doing that. Hes just doing his job and I'm sure as a bike rider he understands you aren't actually going to push that all the way
