Restrictions on an A2 license

[super-duper-moto]

Does anybody know the penalty for being on an A2 license and riding something thats not restricted to 33bhp?

Any help appriciated.

Thanks, Chris

From what I've gathered it's usually a ban, but someone on here got really lucky and just had his bike impounded and had to pay a fine to get it back. Then he restricted it.

Being on A2 sucks, but nowhere near as much as L plates

I agree with the whole restriction thing but what I want is acceleration, not really bothered about top speed tbh.

dont smash and when you get pulled be kind but not ass kissing to the copper. Or buy a brand new DRZ and get the 33bhp kit and hand the bike back to them. They won't know the difference.

I broke one rule, riding without CBT which I learnt from and booked it the next day.
Also Im not saying I want to break the restriction rules, just stretch them slightly

You have no idea what 33bhp is.

My 24 bhp pushes me up to 80mph without any worries. 33 bhp with the BabyBlades weight will put you over a ton.

How can you stretch a restriction? the licence will say in balck and white you cannot do this. If you then go and do it then that is breaking the restriction not stretching it.

Technically you would also be riding without insurance, which is also a fine and points.

You should keep in mind that for the first two years you will be effectively be restricted to six points on your licence rather than a full twelve.

A lot of people don't bother and a lot of people get away with it, however do you really believe you are that lucky?

Put it this way, it does no harm to have it restricted and you don't have to worry about getting busted.

I got caught around 6 and a half weeks ago on a full power CBR600 for doing "over 122mph" (was actually getting to around 170mph on the speedo by the end of the road Would never have been caught if the traffic lights on the turn off where bloody green! )and so far been fined for no tax (£70) and had my bike impounded (£150ish to get back!)

Not yet heard anything else...

Already got 3 points for speeding aswell as a 7 week ban for averaging 110mph over a mile whilst undertaking (restrictions never mentioned these two times!)

EDIT: Also is was pretty much 6 weeks to the day that i got a court summons though last time. The guy never mentioned nothing about a court summons this time, but did say "looks like you've lost your license" as soon as he pulled me over. I wish i new what i was waiting for !

EDIT 2: ALSO when i went to pick bike up all the bloke mentioned was "been done for no insurance mate? got ur papers" or somthing like that, which i handed over and pretty much rode away!

You've gotten caught twice over the ton in six weeks?

I'd say thats a wee bit stupid that. If you get to keep your licence through some miracle of the gods maybe you ought to consider slowing a down a little.

It's more that people seem to lose licences if they see a judge for being 30 over, especially if ton-up.

I believe you should ride appropriately to conditions, and if you got caught speeding then you obviously wasn't. Reason being you wouldn't have been caught.

6 weeks?

No, you're either dumb or a i wrote it down wrong (havnt checked...)

I got caught doing the average November/December 2006. Caught doing "over 122mph" 6 weeks ago

What you said about your amazing story of how fast you were going just makes u look a total moron im afraid lol

Theres nothing remotely cool about that and i hope they have your license off you indefinitely cos you should not be allowed on a public highway acting like that.

[Phoenix]

The fact you got done for riding a scooter without a CBT and now you want to ride an unrestricted bike on a 33bhp licence indicates you actually haven't learnt anything from getting done, so don't try and make out you have.

It's also the fact you think you're too good to be restricted to 33bhp? You've not even ridden a 33bhp CBR400 yet, you may find it's perfectly rideable (which it is), and won't get left behind in anything other than a long straight line.

[hoopdawg]

Yes its so obviously a woolly hatted opinion there isnt it??

U can thank this guy for high insurance costs if ure anything under 25 years old

everyone bends the rules but thats takes the piss

[Torque05]

I got pulled for - well lets jsut say going to fast. They took my bike, tested it etc and it was restricted. Somedays youre just not going to have lady luck on your side. Thats why, however tempting it is im going to keep mine in. You can still ride like a pillock mind.

okay i want this question sorted!
I don't give a shit whether you think the bike should be restricted or not, that has been covered in this thread. What I want to know is whats going to happen if you get caught and its not 33bhp?

Sorry for being blunt and moody but this thread is dyeing and its in need of some order to answer the question not your opinions on it

Thanks in advance
