    Excellent. Now I don't have to choose between telling my son to break the law and ride above 70, or ride with him at 70 and be a sitting duck for other traffic.

    Yahoo!

    Bout time, Although, I should really be getting out there and getting my Restricted and Full...


    Further parts of the updated road rules affecting motorcycle riders need more lead-in time to implement and will come into force in October 2012. They include replacing the current 250cc engine capacity restriction for novice riders with a power-to-weight ratio based restriction

    Soo... This time next year the LAMS list applies eh?? Sweet
    The only stupid question is a question not asked!

    New motorcycle restriction laws not coming into effect until October 2012. Epic will be on my full before then and flick off my 250 for a reasonable price!

    About time. While I was happy to observe the 70kph restriction intially on my L I quickly found it frustrating. There are plenty of roads/places for learners to gain confidence with gradually increasing their riding speed whereby they don't feel they have to travel at 100 (i.e. open road/motorway). However for many the frustration of being punitively punished for that minimum 6 month period of L-ship, or however long they choose to be on their L, has never made sense to me.

    I often travelled at 100 on the motorway and just hoped that my otherwise sensible riding would make me a less likely target for license breach. Never got pulled over.
