Fines?

[boostin]

You're right. You should write a strongly worded letter!

Can someone please think of the children.

[Badjelly]

You should write a strongly worded letter!

No, I don't care that much. But I don't think sinister^ should be riding unlicensed and I hope he either (a) stops or (b) gets caught and fined, thus persuading him to stop. Preferably (a).

[Blue Velvet]

Hmmm. No one has asked why.

Why sinister^, why are you riding unlicensed? Time? Money?

[breakaway]

Quit being a douche and get a licence. It costs $150 tops. Also you have a FXR150, so if you got the licence you would be fully legal. You have no excuse.

[CookMySock]

Each to their own and if he wants to drive on the road unlicensed it's OK by me? Bugger that!

naw there are lots of people riding around who have never had a bike license. I was one of them until a few years ago. Sure maybe they shouldn't have done it, but we all pull some little tricks over our life that maybe we shouldna, and the earth doesn't suddenly stop turning. So keep doing that occasional indescretion wontcha

I hope kiwi airline pilots and truck drivers aren't so "she'll be right" about their licenses.

So how much is a car? I don't even know.

Yeah I'm currently driving 30 mins everymorning with no licence so I would like to know how much I could get done for.

$400 for not holding licence + you will get forbidden from driving until you obtain license.

its $55 for not carrying for drivers license but by not holding one you are exempt from that ticket.

Soon all is going to change with amendment to the Land Transport Act, meaning less fine and more demerits.

If you have NO licence you'll be forbidden to drive until you get one - and that will be done to you at the roadside when you get pulled up.

Get caught riding after that and you're bike will be impounded for 28 days (with towing and impound costs amounting to possibly several hundred dollars), you will go to Court and you will be disqualified for 6 months.

Glad to help.

Seems funny that you have to be caught before being 'forbidden' when you have no licence.

Learn to budget.

How much is that, by the way?

[Tank]

The fines are the least of your issue.

You happen to have a crash and hit a $70k car (Pretty easy to do) - you wont have any insurance and then they will take action against you.

Whilst you may have only payments of X per week the fact that you have a huge debt over your head may preclude you from getting a mortgage etc - thus fucking you up big time for the rest of your life.

Get a licence or get off the road.

[shingo]

How much is that, by the way?

The huge total of....... $79

[Rosie]

The huge total of....... $79

To add a bit more to this: one $400 fine could pay for the entire licencing process. If you paid less than $117 for your BHS you would have money left over for petrol.
