Is there anyone here who only has say a full bike licence but has been pulled over driving a cage? Have the copppers that pulled you over actually checked to see what class of licence you have or not? What sort of fine am I looking at? Is this the kind of offence that you can lose your licence for?

Wrong class of license $400, and probably some demerits too.
They would radio your details through and be told straight away what class of license you had so you would be lucky to get away with it.
I think anybody who has survived the graduated license system on a bike should be fast tracked through the cage license but that would be too commonsensical. Not sure if that is a word or not but I'm keeping it.

Thats the most convincing answer I have heard! I cant afford to drive with the wrong class of licence!

Yeah get your full, it'll be a handy thing for you to have.. never know when you'll want or need to drive in the future and it's way easier sorting it now when there's no pressure. $120ish for the license is way cheaper than $400 where you get nothing! I'm sure you'd be a much better driver than most after riding for this long too.

So if I got my licence you'd let me drive your car then?...
