What is it with drivers who harrass L-plate riders?

I didnt ride with my L plate on... I bought some on the way to my restricted test... I knew the consequences for not displaying them... IF I had have been pulled up & fined... It would've been my own fault.
In saying that, I dont ride like an egg... so didnt have to worry about being pulled over

Great to hear that you don't ride like an egg. Neither do I, but got caught in a stream of traffic out at Pukekohe (on my trusty GN complete with L) into a police reg and wof checkpoint. While that might not necessarily mean a licence check, there is always the chance that you get nabbed regardless of not doing anything to draw attention to yourself. At least you own up and admit that it would have been your own fault.

Of course... Everything you do has a consequence... you go to work... you get paid, if you dont go to work... you dont get paid... if you break a rule... be prepared for what happens when you get caught...

Kinda like my reasoning on pokie machines... if you cant afford to lose $20... then dont put it in..!!

I didnt really think about checkpoints tho... *ponders*... I have yet to be pulled over on my bike for anything but your right... dont have to be doing anything wrong if you get nabbed at a checkpoint huh!!....

no nabbing for me now hehe... only 3 months to go till full
