Legalities on pushing....

[dextersaurus]

Well as you know, my CG was written off Cat B.
Metal Ken offered me a new frame for it, which i will be picking up later today.

Anyways.

I'll need to get the bike from one end of my town to the other, which involves walking quite a fair bit as i don't have a trailer.

What are the legalities?

I'm thinking i should take my insurance, my V5 and my driving licence if i do get stopped... The bike is still on the insurance register, so what will they say if i do get stopped pushing it on the side of the road?

i think you are still required to wear a helmet (i think don't quote me as gospel)

Hopefully all goes well, police around here aint too bad, as i've spoken to them a lot

In a good way, of course.

I'll re-attatch the broken indicator

Only visable damage is the side panel, and the rear brake pedal, as well as the left footpeg.

Think i could ride it if it's still on the insurance register?

What is a road?
We have seen that it can be an offence to 'ride on land other than a road' without the owner's permission. It is worth noting that, as well as the carriageway; pavements, verges and footpaths alongside roads are considered as being part of the road. Therefore, pushing a motorcycle along the footpath means it is on the road, and all of the usual laws and requirements for street legal motorcycles apply. These include: tax, MOT, registration and insurance.

Ahh seems like a bit much risk involved

i'll just get the old man to bring a trailer, or stuff it in the back of the van when he has the time

Cheers anyway guys

for your help...

Cheers

I'd push it.

Technically it has to be roadworthy but most coppers would show some discression.

It's like it's technically illegal to have your car up on an axle stand while parked at the side of the road outside your house to fix the brakes because its on the road with defective brakes. You'd have to be a complete arsehole to do someone for it.

Could you not just say it's out of petrol and you left your wallet at home?

My clutch cable snapped when out riding so had to push it home. The police passed me several times whilst I pushed it on the path and they didn't stop. I had my jacket on and my helmet was under the net on the pillion. Even sat on it and rode it down hill on the path with the engine off and they still didn't stop me.


I need to push mine but I have to push it over the A19.

I don't think the police would appreciate me pushing it 5.5 miles and over on ramps and stuff.

Thats crazy.what would they do if you dont have a licence but the bike was fine? Because a m8 has a HUGE garden he said i can practice in before my cbt. Just to get used to gears and everything. Thing is id have to push it

[Aikman666]

I used to push my completely illegal offroad bike with no proof of ownership etc. for a good 10 minutes to get there/back from where I used to do my offroading. Never got a peep. I think really the only issue would be ownership to be honest. But if quota's are down, the police WILL find something to do you on.

Myself and three mates got stopped pushinh my bike home a few days ago.

The alarm was going off as i lost my set of keys that had the fob on it

Just a quick check and it was a case of "on you go boys".
