Ticket for lifting front wheel?

[pritch]

like the imperial laws application act which ratifies the magna carta.

Alas there is nothing left in Magna Carta (apparently it must never be referred to as the Magna Carta - bad form) that relates to any of us or the average British citizen.

ps. The right to pull sick 12s and lay fat patches is affirmed in the magna carta.

With a horse, lance and catapult....yeah right?

Really?

There are still three clauses....

These clauses concern the freedom of the English Church, the "ancient liberties" of the City of London

So in a word...irrelevant..

Why have bitching softcocks taken over this forum. When did pulling a wheelie become idiotic? I can ride a fucking unicycle. My UZ125 scooter is one of the easiest to wheelie bikes I've ridden. If you think pulling a wheelie is dangerous you better stay in bed gramps.

You're all so fucking high and mighty, live a little.

Lived, got caught, paid the fines! Didnt go around like a bitching softcock about em!

Take it to court and claim there was no intent for the wheel to lift. Without proving intent the charge might not stick.

Ducatilover got done for something similar, maybe ask him

If I don't INTEND to speed ... is that a defense ... ???

Courts a funny place.
The guy that kicked me through a wire fence on CTV with witnesses just got off because he claimed he was trying to frighten me only.
His lawer claimed he had no way of knowing the wire fence was flexible. There was not intent to assault so not guilty.

It can be ... one might also ask why he wanted to kick you through a wire fence .. ???????????????


But the Judge on the day makes the FINAL decision. (Karma perhaps .. ??)

[jellywrestler]

A guy on a big single or torquey bike can easily pop the wheel up by being a bit overzealous with the gas but if they drop it down rather than keeping it in the air surely that shows you're not trying to deliberately do it? Kinda like sustained loss of traction and how if you start to spin your wheels but back off they usually won't have a go at you for it.

if this is the case clearly he cannot handle the machine he has if he accidentally gets to 45 degrees. best he got and get a car and a scooter.

Inmates do unexpected things lol. Perhaps I shouldn't have been drilling while leaning on the fence.

Get over it. Lift your front wheel at the lights....ticket if caught. End of. Unsafe riding/driving.

I accidentally turn traction control off inducing accidental mono thingy-bobs.

A certain member from Oamaru lost his license for a few months for the same thing.


No consistency in policing nowdays ... dammit ...



Advise ... ??? quit whinging ...

Ha ha. To be fair, that certain other member wheelied for a bit longer than the width of an intersection huh!

[Oakie]

So what actually justifies "a manner likely to cause annoyance"?

Flashing headlights to warn of cops ahead used to get you done for 'annoyance' a few years back. In this case though, lifting the front wheel annoyed the cop. End of story ... your mate pays the fine, learns the lesson and moves on. And in my humble opinion if he lifted the front wheel accidentally, he needs to learn to control his bike a bit better. But I don't really think it was an accident...
