    R6 Kid, take it on the chin; It will do you good soulfully and minimal stress. If u decide to cheat (doh), change your ride/helmet/jacket and hope not to encounter all the Christmas Checkpoints (Doh)

    If it's a car v bike, it's more likely that he will die. Then we'll have headlines like;
    SUSPENDED BIKIE DIES AFTER HITTING CAR.
    Speed doesn't kill people.
    Stupidity kills people.

    When you lose your license this way, does it include your car license too?

    If not, you could jump on a 50cc scooter for a month

    You only have one licence - one licence that contains details of all you other driving entitlements.

    If you lose the licence for one kind of vehicle you lose it for all.

    Unless, like me, you have a UK drivers licence too....

    Pretty sure you're wrong on that one...

    They ban the person from driving, even if you're on an overseas license... best that could happen is that you won't get the ban on your UK license, but when you come to convert it to an NZ license (compulsary after a year in NZ) then you'll get the ban then.

    Since then I have got some more demerit points taking my total to 110, I have now lost my license for 3 months as of 3 weeks ago, I got my bike back on the weekend and have ridden for the last 3 days, I am in 2 minds over wether to continue doing this, At this point I think I will only ride to work and back, and on weekends maybe to a destination, I am strictly sticking to the speed limits and road rules and I do not intend to go for blats on back roads,
    I dont really want to risk getting pulled over again and losing my license for longer as well as having no insurance but because ive only had my bike back 2 days, at this point im taking the risk...

    some cops can be vey forgiving. I have been caught doing 100kph over the limit and the cop took it down to 49 over the limit. (when you lost your license at 50kph over) But lost my license anyway cause the ticket put me over 100 demerit points.

    Ahh, so good to have grown through the speeding stage 30 years ago, when the police didnt do traffic, and the Ministry of Transport drove Cortinas, VK Holdens and Honda CB360s, so you only stopped if you had done nothing wrong.

    I remember being chased by the MOT. But ran onto reserve, so decided to stop and cop my ticket. (At high speed my XJ650 was only good for a few klicks on reserve, so I thought I'd had it.) Traffic officer pulled over, stopped his car and came over to give me a ticket. I could see he was going to throw the book at me, he was bright pink, sweating and clearly very angry.

    Then I heard this rumble, We both turned around to look, and his ancient Holden had overheated, and was spewing water, steam, and making a ferocious rumbling.

    I decided I'd been given a reprieve, and left the scene fairly promptly, spent the next week or two looking over my shoulder in case he had got my rego.

    My advice for what its worth ?
    The Gods smiled on you by letting you do high speeds for many miles without accident or incident. Don't push their generosity and sense of humour. Pay the fine, apply for the work licence if you need it, and see if you can't plan on enjoying your future motorcycling at sub sonic speeds.

    Good luck and I hope the judge got a blowjob the morning of your hearing. (Err, I'm not suggesting you visit...)

    Haha, yep thats one way of looking at it! I didnt have a good day at all that day. I'd decided the day before to slow down on the open road with my riding. Was just that the road was clear and was early morning so i opened it up for a couple of corners before slowing back down to near-legal speeds. Just so happened that after the 2nd corner a friendly police officer saw me and didnt agree with my reasoning!

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Hmmm.... an interesting read. But here's a friendly English lesson for some of you once and for all. The document we all talk about so often on KB is called a licence. It's a noun. When it's a noun you spell it with a second "c"...that's licence. OK? When you use the word as a verb, ie: "I must remember to license my bike next month" then you spell it with an "s" ...that's license. Got it? Good. Simple really innit? QED
