Had a chat with a bike cop.

[AllanB]

I'm more worried about you riding off to these deserted car-parks. I saw a documentary on TV a while ago about weird men hanging out at these........


End of the day bud you should NOT have been on it. Get your full and give it heaps after.

[Taz]

Skidmarks still on his learners . Why have you not progressed?

[Conquiztador]

May 2006 SkidMark tells us that he got a speeding ticket and the cop wrote down his license number. That's over 3 years ago.

So over 3 years on Learners.

No symphaty from me.

The following section is inserted after section 121:

121A Enforcement officer may give directions or immobilise vehicle if driver breaches certain licence conditions

(1) An enforcement officer may exercise all or any of the powers conferred by subsection (2) if the enforcement officer believes on reasonable grounds that a person who is for the time being in charge of a motor vehicle has, in relation to a prescribed class of motor vehicle, breached any condition of a class 1 or class 6 learner licence or a restricted licence held by that person.

(2) The enforcement officer may—
(a) forbid the person to drive a motor vehicle until that person is able to comply with the conditions of that person's learner licence or restricted licence:
(b) direct the person to drive to a specified place (for example, the person's home):
(c) take possession of all ignition or other keys of the vehicle, and for that purpose require the person to deliver up immediately all such keys:
(d) take any steps that may be necessary to make the motor vehicle immobile or to move the motor vehicle to a place where it does not constitute a traffic hazard.

What's he going to DO about it bro? Hold onto your belt so you cant ride away?

He CAN ticket you again if he sees you, but I don't think he can tell you what to do. In fact, unless you are under arrest, the cops are rather limited about what they can compel you to do.

I take the "no" approach. If they fail my attitude test, I SHOW them (do not hand it to them) my license and then leave. They can sort the paperwork out, I am uninterested. There are plenty of cops who prepared to be fair and not take the fine-tooth-comb throw-the-book hold-you-up-for-twenty-minutes approach.

If they have taken something of yours, an easy test is to demand they return it immediately. If they must - then they will, unless they are very brave or very stupid.

Another thing you can do if they mention taking keys, is forbid them from touching your bike. "Do not touch my motorcyle" or "You are warned not to touch my motorcycle."

A lot of the time, the police will ask if they can do something, or guesture towards it, and then take a lack of objection as a consent. You must make it politely, but firmly very clear to them that unless you are compelled by legislation you do not consent.

Nice one you fuckwit

Is that amendment actually in force yet? I thought that was part of Crusher Collins efforts, still before the House? But I may be behind the fair.

Oh my god, I thought you were just a silly boy until I read your last 2 posts, you don't deserve to be on a bike, or on this site. I dear say you will be the one in the ditch if you see that cop again, you will probably quiver like a little bitch. Fuck me, what ever you do DON'T GET YOUR LICENSE INFACT HAND IT BACK!

[Big Dan]

I hope there are cops reading this thread

I'm sure there is more than enough evidence here to be able to cancel Marks licence and to arrest him on conspiracy and threatening to endanger other road users

Whats the law about that for anyone in the know ?
