Say someone rode a bike on the motorway that was only did 40odd mph like a moped or something, Is there anything you can get prosecuted for? seeing as there is no minimum speed limit on the motorway?
Can't you get done for obstructing traffic or something?

You can't take a 50cc on a motorway. That's illegal.

I would be careful. The cops could probably cook up something if you went really slowly on a motorway. Riding without due care & attention seems to be a catch all. Like the section 5 public order is - covers more or less anything minor if they want to nick you or stop you doing something they don't like.

That aside, it could be dangerous. I think twice about taking the RXS on motorways and that'll do 70.

I did about 30 miles on the M2 riding a C70 once. Top speed was about 45 in normal conditions. Just kept as far to the left as I could without actually riding on the hard shoulder and didn't have any problems. But it wasn't a comfortable experience, I have to say

At least the C70 looks capable of doing more than 30... =P

Must be at least 50cc, and a full licence holder of course.
Note that most mopeds are actually 49cc, so not legal on the motorway.

Also note that if you bore out a moped, you legally need to inform the DVLA it's not longer a moped (as the definition of a moped includes the cc limit), get it tested and approved as a motorcycle (££), inform your insurance (£££), and have the appropriate licence to ride it.

Fail to do any of that? Then ensure you like porridge, or at least lube up ready for a death by fining.

It'll be wicked lulz

Let us know what it's like to be rearended by someone doing 70mph

Spent years working on stuff on the hard shoulder and the last thing i'd want to be doing is anything less than 60mph down the motorway, you will regret it if you live to get to the next junction

I recently drove a car (with turbo problems) on the motorway at between 40-50 mph not a pleasant experience I can tell you even got under taken by a impatient lorry driver, his overtake was blocked by another lorry so he moved onto the lane entering the motorway , seeing as it was up a hill, the entering lane was quite lengthy but he still didnt manage to pass within that time so he ended up on the hard shoulder spitting dust everywhere until he got fed up then just cut me up with the last 10 feet of his trailer!!!!


and this was a british lorry not sure of the drivers nationality or legality of his parents marriage!

I used to do 45mph in my old car. All that happened was that I was overtaken alot.

But I couldn't imagine how it would feel on a bike going top speed
