    I never got stopped doing 100 on the learners.
    So it looks like nobody here has ever been done for doing 70 on a learners, except the dude who was in a 50 zone at the time!

    try $400 per l offence and 25 demerits in total. it's the demerits which worry me cus they in turn affect insurance when you clock up 100+, hence why i have a different disco light policy to back when i got **** raped 1.3k in one sitting.

    yer it's called a custom wave in which you wind your wrist and the bike dissapears at 300 kph or so:P

    nah mate, the new bike has a magic mirror too, it's even better than the old one! they block out the far ends of the visible light spectrum - red and blue, you just gotta twist the wrist and ride vigorously or the alternator isn't strong enough to power it up though...

    My 2c

    I ignored the whole 70kph limit when on my Learners, There is no way I'm going to do 70kph in a 80-100kph zone with cars trying to kill me.

    I had a cop follow me over the Haywards hill for a bit with me doing 110kph. He just passed me after a while with light flashing and was on his way. (taking into account that the Hyosung's speedo is out, I was prob doing 100kph)

    One thing to keep in mind is that no L Plate may also mean no insurance.

    I got snapped doing over 200kmh on a GSXR1100 while still on my learners but that was a few years ago I could'nt be bothered doing the full!!!
    But as I grew older and wiser I caved in and went legal!!!!
    Got the book thrown at me! but had been riding since the age of fifteen on big bikes and could'nt see what the drama was!!
    70 k's sounds dangerous especially commuting in traffic!!
    I saw some nut sack on a scooter going down the gorge the other day doing 60k and holding up the traffic cars were cutting in and out dangerous shit plus he was'nt very visable so I came up beside him and told him to speed up or fuck off or else some ones gonna run him off the road!!
    Did the trick and I followed him down the gorge till he was out of the shit!
    Fuck I'm a nice C**t
    NEVER LET THE TRUTH GET IN THE WAY OF A GOOD STORY!

    My understanding of that is that the lack of an L-Plate has to be an important factor in why the incident occurs... which seems impossible to me.

    However, as usual, I could be wrong

    I actually took my L plate off when I went out for a ride yesterday, and if Im in 100k zone, there was no way Im going to sit at 70... its bloody stupid and dangerous.

    Iv been on the road for over 5 years in cages, I know the law, where Im supposed to sit and wheres dangerous for a bike to sit. Its all about your own confidence.

    The L plate has to be at Front and Back on a car. It just has to be "clearly visible" on a bike.

    If you put your L plate on the Left-Hand-side swing arm, it meets the requirements of the law. But a traffic car behind you would not see it, so unless you were pulled over for some other offence, you are unlikely to get pinged.

    Plus, the cars around you can't see it, so will not think they can intimidate you as a newbie.
    David must play fair with the other kids, even the idiots.

    The moment I got confident enough with my riding I took off my L plate, the way I saw it is that all you need is 1 wanker cop to ping you for the $400 fine and 25 demerits and that zipping along normally below the radar would be safer. I got pulled over doing 112 on the way to RRRS, the cop was obviously in a good mood as he just gave me the ticket for 12kph over rather than raping me with the no L plate, over 70kph, 42kph over what im supposed to be doing tickets. The advice he gave me was to wear the L plate and just go 'at a speed I deem safe'.
