Hypothetical situation

[lankyman]

In that situation, yes you are right. One takes the rap for all. But in this hypothetical case, one of the group was doing wheelies (maybe) and someone else was pulled for it. Not the same scenario at all.

Yea, in that case you should let it got to court, and unless he (the cop)can prove which one of you it was there is fuck all he can do

Sorry, which country do you live in?
In NZ the cop will be believed and you will effectively need to prove your innocence.

A very wise woman (known to some as Mrs Jelly) once said,

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

nah! weasels get poisened, skined and paraded around just so their mates dont get any ideas

[AD345]

Actually AD you have a really REALLY good point. The person who got caught in all honesty should quite rightly have said at the time NO I DID NOT do a donut. -In that case the evidence is pretty clear all you need to do is touch the rear tyre.
Not shifting my opinion here but the actual accused could deny all charges--and quite rightly

yeah that too

[hospitalfood]

let him take the fall
shag his misses
steal his bike

just don't drink his last beer afterwards.

Hey mate, I'm with Sixpackback here. Some good wise words there and some common sense.

The cop got the wrong bloke so there should be some element of doubt here.
Dunno about you but I like to sleep at night as well.

So, let's just say. You are doing dumb shit on your bike, perhaps in say a small group of mates and one of these mates gets snapped for your dumb shit and is faced with loosing their license.

Purely hypothetical of course.

What should you do?
Come forward, be the man and take the punishment.
Screw it. it's not your problem if your mate looses his license.

Is there another option perhaps?

Why ask this ?? what the hell is wrong with you?

How interesting.
Your post is precisesly the reason I asked. Rather than jump to conclusions and make assumptions - as it would appear that you have. I would rather take a reasoned approach.
Did you read the thread? If not I suggest you do so as the answers are in there in plain easy to understand english.

Dude, you try to be the man and YOU and yer mate will get done. You for maybe doing somefing a little stoopid and yer mate for being stoopid enough to be in the vicinity of mucho stoopidness.

Leave it and buy yer mate a brew....eternally.

[Kittyhawk]

Its the code.

Putting your mate into the cops is a shit thing to do, Even if they are the sort of piss weak wank who would let you take the blame for their crap.

It all depends on how big the stakes are.

Yeah, youre right it does depend.

- So whose the real biker here...the one in hiding or the one taking the blame for their mate?

- Name and shame?

- How long have they been friends? are they best mates?

- But why would a group be doing burnouts in a place where the cops would catch them! There is a number of places where you can go stunting without getting snapped......

Why no view who votes???

Man-up in my view, some fuck-wit cost me my licence a few years back, I would like to 'speak' to said fuck-wit personally.

People may tend to vote for what they feel is expected of them rather than how they may actually feel if their decision is subject to review by others.
It's called peer pressure.

Not that I think KB polls are particularly accurate anyway, but I do think that when we see such a strong result as we are seeing here it is a reasonable indication of the feeling out there.

[FROSTY:Me]

There is another wee point I'd like to raise.
I think the answer may vary according to the severity of the charge.
If for example its "just " a sustained loss of traction charge with no points, just a fine Id suggest the two guys sort it out between themselves. The Good mate would pay the fine for the guy that got caught.
If its the oposite extreme being say dangerous driving then theres no question the person responsible should man up and admit to the offence.

[dpex]

I'd choose my mates better.

This suggests you have one which has fewer than four legs.

Bullshit! Recently, 57% of riders showed they realised that riding their bikes, sitting facing backwards, while texting, was the most dangerous of the options.

That clearly shows these polls are incredibly accurate.
