I have never beleived that a piece of paper can dictate my ability, but at the same time, to put yourself in a situation where you might get owned this hard is just plain stupid.
Especiall when you have a learner bike, and all it would take for you to get 100% legal is a licence which you can get for $79.

+1 $80 odd bux and you got your learners! It'll end up costing you HEAPS more if you get caught!

You're obviously young. Did it ever occur to you, and to all like-minded youngsters, that the difference between children and grown-ups, is that grown-ups do what needs to be done.
This, surprisingly, usually works our better in the long run as the grown-up tends to succeed and get what they really want.
Children who can't seem to discipline themselves to budget and plan and obey the law, tend to get themselves very deeply in the poo and ruin the rest of their lives, all the while firmly believing that someone will come along and wave a magic wand and miraculously give them everything they wanted while at the same time cancelling out their misdemeanors.
Sadly, some who are chronologically called adults, are still themselves living in fairyland and still waiting for the magic fairy.
What part of "self discipline and hard work", don't you understand? It has been proven for thousands of years to be a very good way of attaining wealth and happiness in a surprisingly short time.

I'm just looking forward to the 'i got caught riding without a licence and got fined and now i'm forbidden'thread.
or even better - the 'i crashed into a beemer and they have billed me the $10000 repair bill'
It's time...
You're absolutely right, of course, but you're starting to sound worrying like my headmaster!

Umm! Solly bout dat!How about a Grandpa who's brought up three kids including a son who was forever having to be bailed out of one crisis after another until he eventually learned that his old man may have known something after all?

Well you're hardly likely to be forbidden if you're NOT driving, are you?
The offence IS 'DRIVING without a licence' after all, NOT 'just wandering around and possibly thinking about maybe driving some day'...

I think you missed my point, most likely due to my poorly worded post.Well you're hardly likely to be forbidden if you're NOT driving, are you?
The offence IS 'DRIVING without a licence' after all, NOT 'just wandering around and possibly thinking about maybe driving some day'...
That fact that someone does not have a licence is not enough for them to be 'forbidden' from driving?

At the risk of STILL misunderstanding you:
No, if they are not/have not been driving or riding it is not.
You have to have been drivng without a licence to be forbidden.

I think it might be my definitions of forbidden.
I am thinking of it as 'not allowed to drive' as opposed to a specific offence
So I think it is crazy that you have to be caught without a licence before you are told that you are not allowed to drive. The fact that a person does not have a licence should be grounds enough for them not to be allowed to drive.

You're not thinking it through.
Forbidden means just that. If you get busted driving or riding after being forbidden the penalties ramp up rapidly, all the way to $6000 and imprisonment, very quickly. In this case forbidden is also a legal definition of what a person may or may not do.
Badjelly, do you have a family tree that includes prison camp guards in Estona, Latvia, and Poland? Gentle encouragement works better than stern admonishment. I think you'll find pretty much everyone thinks our impoverished friend should get a license. I don't think our impoverished friend is paying much attention to the huge amount of money that can be racked up in fines though, but sometimes you have to learn your own lesson.
BJ, if you want to go around rapping people over the knuckles for a hobby, become a Baptist pastor, a school teacher, or politician. You might want to pick your targets a bit better because smelly bikers tend to rap knuckles back.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

All part of the fun.I'm just looking forward to the 'i got caught riding without a licence and got fined and now i'm forbidden'
or even better - the 'i crashed into a beemer and they have billed me the $10000 repair bill'
Then BJ can get his jollies with a resounding, "I told you so!"

That's the nicest thing anyone's said to me on this thread! Str8Jacket said I was being nasty. A bit harsh I thought. (It's not as if I'm going to dob sinister^ in. I don't have his rego number for a start.) They have anger management courses; do they have mean-old-bugger classes?
