Who really does 70 on learners?

[R-Soul]

I took mine off as I felt like a target, rode around for a week and put it back on. Dont' care about it. If it saves me $100 then I'll have it on.
Not sticking to 70k as I think on the open road it is far too dangerous and I'm not into big trucks sitting on my arse!!!!
Only have to have it on for a short time anyway, will induce me to get restricted asap!!!

You have to wonder at the common sense of requiring inexperienced riders to hang around at 70km/h while large trucks and cars pass them at a speed differential of 30km/hr, dont you?

I mean, if you dont have the riding technique to control a bike at 100km/hr, what makes you think their riding technique will be any more useful at 70 km/hr?

Were you stalling or having difficulties with the bike?
Seems a bit odd for a cop to pull you over without him suspecting something.

not at all. was with my friend and his ninja. and we were both going good.

he told me it was just a warrant and rego check. but he forgot all about that when he saw the L on my licence...even though ive had that 6L for 2 years...

it was a full on crack down on motorists that day. there were so many cop cars i lost count. but they didnt seem to even notice bikes. just the biker cop that was interested. saw him pulling over a ducati aswell when i was heading back.

im sorry you appear to have misunderstood me.

the question was, "what are the demerits for riding on the wrong class of license?"

Yes, sorry about that.

Not sure, but I assume riding on the wrong class of license == breaching license conditions? Or do you mean riding a bike with just a car license?

I already provided a link in this thread to the Land Transport saying that you get
$100 and 35 demerit points for not having the L plate
$100 and 25 demerit points for going above 70km/h.

Wrong way around, 25 demerits for no L plate, 35 demerits for any other breach of restricted conditions, which include going above 70km/h.

I happily have my 25 points

As for riding on the wrong class of license, there would be no demerit points. just $400 for riding with no current license. Just asked a police friend.

correct. riding with just a car license (ie/ same fine as a learners but not extra fines for ea breach for cc's, pillions, after hours, l-plate, over 70kms etcetc)

kinda makes you not want to bother aye?

Why aren't I allowed to go 100 on the open road on my 600 with a pillion on my learners.

seems u better off doing it on a car license, in fact you even lose your license on learners!

ie/ on learners
((100km= $100+35 points, +pillion $100+35 points, +more than 250cc =$100+35 points)(+ i assume $100+25 points for no L-plate on a 600) =total $400+130 points) =lost license!

ad another $100+points if it's at midnight!

on full car license = $400 + no points

i wonder which most people would prefer?
