Court..

[JakeyR]

I got knocked off 4 months to this day, september i got a letter saying I'm being summonsed to court for riding without a license.

I get on the phone to the po po, they reckon I'm only allowed to ride a 125 on my license, this is the Police for fucks sake and they don't even know the law, i explain to them that i can ride whatever the fuck i want so long as its 33bhp and the power to weight ratio doesn't exceed 0.16 kw per kg. Police still don't understand.

So yeah, turn up at court today, and some duty solicitor dude takes me to an interview room and he explains to me how he knows the laws and knows what a big fuck up the whole situation is, he says the magistrate could get narky and ask for proof that the bike was restricted at the time of the crash, but at the end of the day its 4 months on and they can't prove fuck all, i even had a borrowed restrictor kit to flash at them and give them the metaphorical finger.

The woman who's trying to prosecute me stands up and says something along the lines of "err well we were lead to believe mr blahbah was riding a motorcycle bigger than his license allows but we have received some new proof and information that this is not the case, so errrm i have nothing else to say"

The snotty magistrate people say oh ok case dropped.

That's about it, in and out of court in about 20 mins, the point is the Police know fuck all about laws regarding bikes, ok yeah i got away with it blah blah, and i suppose its good for me that they didn't know, but you'd expect traffic police to know what theyre on about

On the otherhand if you hand't lied youd have been served justice on a plate .

But so would I, like fuck would i restrict anything i own

In all fairness very few non-motorcyclists understand the 33bhp law, on the other hand they should have researched it before commiting to a court date and dragging you in.

I bet 90% of this forum didn't restrict their bikes.

[Kwaks]

But I bet they would at least feel relieved if they had got away with it rather than feeling the Police were "taking the piss"

edit: whoops just noticed the per kg thing

Congratulations

[JakeyR]

Haha, yeh 25kw.

Kwaker, ok yeah, I'm relieved, but if it was someone else on a restricted bike, they'd feel like they've been done over, thats the point.

At the end of the day i was the one who got knocked off and dragged to court for the privilege, if anyone should have gone to court it should have been the woman who knocked me off imo.

I'm sure she has been dealt with.


How would you feel if you had crashed into a car driven by someone without a licence?


Point is, you were riding illegally, you got away with it. Don't then complain about what might have happened.

Also not a good idea to post a confession on here along with your name and court date

He did not have a licence for the bike he was on.

I know if I was riding/driving and accidently hit something which shouldn't have been there in the first place I would be pretty pissed off.


Tough if you disagree, but I hate people jumping onto un restricted bikes when the licence is restricted. Too many people have been hurt due to this, and I will not condone it.

Nice to know where taxpayer's money goes, isn't it.

Hope the person responsible for taking you to court has the court costs taken out of his salary
