Yes. It is. But it wont be long...
The instructions are simple...
Said it before and here it is again. Andie Knackersinasack is the prat responsible for these sorts of ridiculous rules. You can't appeal to his logic cos there is none. And you can't vote him out of office either.
Tis better to use the L plate but FFS go with the traffic flow when in 100k zones
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
Poser on the green whale
wow. $400??? for no L plate.
you sure you weren't riding a Hyabusa on your learners?
did it have a rego and warrant???
i would have thought the no L plate fine would have been around $50???
how can they find you $400 for no L plate but only $200 for no rego???

Right there is the logic we are talking about.

Scooter boy
He pulled me over for exceeding the limit by 13kmh. That was $80, then he gave me $400 for no L plate.
Aargh, photos!
So exceeding YOUR 70kph limit or the 100Kph limit? Either or, you got stung.

Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods

The no L-plate thing comes under the umbrella of breaking your licence conditions, which there is a $400 fine for each offence. eg. Carrying a pillion on your learners/restricted, exceeding 70km/h on your learners. Riding after 10pm yadda yadda.
Its pretty fucked up.
Forum whore
Just doing their job.
F%^K I hate that excuse!!!
I understand that came up a lot at the Nurenburg tirals too.
I mean hey if it's your job you got to do it right?
It's your job, you can't possibly change it can you?
You can't possibly use any discression, after all it's your job.
Well get another f&*ken job useless bastard!
It's like "company policy", how may times do you get hit with that one? The ultimate defences Company policy and just doing my job.
both of which usually elict a severe and unpleasent response from me.
They are just euphemisms for
"I'm a fuckwit who can't possibly think for myself"
The instructions are simple...
There's a lot to be said for working within the cistern.....I mean, system

Woah woah woah. Are you saying that if cop X thinks law Y is trivial that he should just ignore it?
Seated in heavenly places
Sheesh i didn't know the fine for no L-plate was THAT horrendous! I feel for you KS, $400 is a great sum for a lowly student to afford.
I believe the general consensus on KB over the years has been to ditch the L-plate and make up excuses *if* you get caught...i spose that is actually bad advice considering the penalty...IF the copper decides to enforce it that is!
I'll be fucken damned if I'll ever ride with an 'L plate', look at the treatment people in cars receive let alone those on motorcycles.
Question is though, were you exceeding your 70kmph limit or the road 100kmph limit?
Wish it all away...
Exactly.
Virtually every other learner I know never has one on their bike either. I mean, why advertise breaking licence conditions both by travelling at 100km/h and being out after 10pm, with your L plate on? If you get pulled over, you should fully expect to have the book thrown at you. You don't have to like it a great deal, but you have to live with it.
Your trouble is you were doing something that gave the policeman an excuse to pull you over - you were doing more than 10km/h over the posted limit. It's a bummer, especially when it's so trivial like your speed, but so many times they'll pick up other things in general inspection - no WOF, no REG, unsafe vehicle modifications, breaking licence conditions... and it's too much money too easily for them to let you off. They have their quotas to make after all.
Nasty way to do it, but welcome to KB.
Soapbox house of cards and glass, so don't go tossing your stones around.
You musta been.... high. You musta been...
