86km in a 100km zone = speeding ticket?

[R.B.S]

Writing an appeal will more than likely delay the process and u will still get lumped with the fine, unless the officer did not have a fluro safety vest on at the time. That will be the only slim chance you could have to get off that one.

No one is arguing with that statement.

Well then surely the cops can't argue with it either and therefore shouldn't fine me due to the apparent injustice of it all!

I finally found it! It's ok to do 100kph during part 3 of your restricted test.

Sweet. So then technically, the cops can't pull me over as i am sitting this section of the test! Cheers!

LTSA claim that you are permitted to exceed the 70km/h limit during the restricted test (See link here near bottom of page)

"Part 3

This section is conducted in higher-speed areas of 70–100 km/h* and assesses your ability to safely and legally control your vehicle in these situations:

riding straight
riding straight on a multi-lane road or around a curve (left or right)
entering traffic flow or merging onto a motorway.
* Even though the conditions of your learner licence don’t allow you to ride at speeds above 70 km/h, you are permitted to do so during part 3 of this test."

Good luck in proving that one. You are talking about the cops.

[kunoichi]

good luck in proving that i was sitting the 3rd part of my practical restricted test? i always have the paperwork on me saying the date and time i'm due to sit my restricted, so even if the mofo doesn't pull up with me and the cop and just drove off, i'v got written evidence of what i was doing, and have the name of the tester so they can hit the AA up about anything like that!

No need to try and convince me its the coppers and court system you will have to persuade if you get to actually stand in front of one. Remember if the copper doesnt show up they move the date if you dont show up your guilty you pay the fine

This thread is getting boring.

Look, you knew the conditions of your license, you broke them, you got caught. Pay the fine (assuming you get one) and chalk one up to experience.

Court is an expensive place to argue the merits or otherwise of NZ statutes. If you really believe in the cause, get lobbying.

12 pages for a non existent ticket...

PM sent.

Get your restricted. You've had a 6L for a year.....

Sorted.

If ticket arrives, show the 6R and ask for the ticket to be waived etc etc, as explained in the PM....

I think your mate is an idiot.
OK - some people might be special. Or lucky. All bar a very small number would be a liability to themselves and others.

Nah he used to race a lot of Motorcross. YZ250's and stuff so he knows how to control a bike. He was pretty good too it seems. Every year we have a motorcross competition at work, the engine centre vs the hanger and he hadn't ridden a dirt bike for a year, jumped on his brothers YZF250 and he was right up the front, so that was pretty good.

Anyway the point is, you can potentially get your full bike licence without doing more than 40 kilometres on the road.

LOL! i suspect other girls on kb won't like me so much for that!

[gatch]

Right now, they don't exist

[MSTRS:Me]

I'm baffled by the restricted tester saying you could breech license condition and go 100km for (supposedly) the first time! Tho i do see the point that you should test somebody is able to control themselves at that speed before giving them the legal right to do so.

The problem with this is that to gain a 6L, all you have to do is prove a modicum of bike control in a carpark at walking speed and pass a road rules scratchy. You are then allowed to join the traffic at up to 70kph. Where was the test that you could handle that?
