Sean! Oh dear!

The only other possibility is that you were not in complete control of the bike having only just passed your test and overestimated the amount of throttle needed to get the bike moving...

Sad

Unlucky mate, seems you are screwed. You could use the arguement it was on private property and you wernt indangering any one? I don't know may be an outside chance but any chance migth be worth taking.

edit: didn't notice it was a town hall car park Embarassed

You learnt the lesson the hard way.

That is, ride how you want to and how you see fit. We all try to 'copy' others at times and you've went and got caught doing something silly.

Take it on the chin. Can't do the time, don't do the crime. Tut Tut

can you reapply straight away?

instigator · Super Spammer Joined: 19 Oct 2004 Karma :

Depends when you go to court. But once you've been given your 'punishment' and it's only a revoke, yes, you can re-apply the same day. But you'll have to go through:

getting the form
filling it out
sending it off
waiting for dvla to give you your provisional
then you can go book your cbt and theory (waiting times can be over 3 weeks)
then once you pass them both, book a test which again can take 3-6 weeks depending on your area.

Takes time. And your insurance might go up.

Just wait and see what you get through the post before you worry to much and don't ride like a tosser in the future.

I doubt you'll lose your licence. Not having it back from the dvla is fine, by law you are licenced to ride it from the time the examiner signs your pass certificate.

Even if it did go to court just stand there looking all sorry for yourself, tell them you just got your licence and got a bit carried away. You realise riding a bike a big responsibility and you shouldn't have gotten caught up in the mob mentality and you'll more then likely walk away scott free. I've been let off for much worse. Most of the time all they really want to see is remorse and a lesson learned.

I don't reckon that warrants an instant disqualification. As SpannerMonkey says - if it goes to court and you show regret at your actions you just might get away with it.

3 points and a fine is plausible, for driving without due care and attention. You'll lose your licence if you get 6 points in the first 2 years, so if they hit you with this then just be careful from now on.

It may well be that the cops just want to put the wind up you. Show up at the cop shop with a full set of documentation and everything in order, and you may well just walk out of there with a slapped wrist.

But whatever happens - learn from this.

So did he record this from the unmarked car?

Johnny GSX-R · World Chat Champion Joined: 14 Feb 2005 Karma :

If he wasn't in uniform or in a marked vehicle then he shouldn't be stopping you anyway!!!!

He needs to be in uniform to stop you.

Hope it helps

he was plain clothed in an unmarked car on his own so if he shouldnt have been stopping me does this mean he cant make me go to court?
