How many points for no restriction?

[mysterious_rider]

Hi dudes, just wondering about how many points would you recieve for not having your bike restricted?

Anyone know the true answer? Heard it's 6.


Cheers.

Don't you also get the points for driving without insurance as your insurance is invalid?

I thought if you get caught it was a pretty much by by license?

you get raped if you're not restricted, and lose your licence as its within 2 years of passing your test. Just man up and take the restriction, better that then taking your tests all over again, plenty of time to be fast after

Isn't the OP the same person who said his friend lost his license due to having no restrictors in? If anything, that should be enough encouragement to use them.

It's a real difficult one. Bikes become gutless when restricted. Just seems a shame.

Currently got a gs500 and a zzr600. Gs is restricted, and zzr will be i reckon. Just to be safe..

Look on the bright side, if you're not bothered about riding in accordance with your license, then it doesn't matter if you lose it.

Now, I'm not recommending anything but... in practice, unless you bin it and the bike is taken away for examination, or you pass a jam sandwich at already license-losing speeds, then I'd imagine that merely having a bit of paper saying "25kW TOTES TRUE BRO" with some sort of appropriate letterhead or crest or Great Seal on it would suffice to placate both insurers and coppers.

Do some mock insurance quotes (false contact details) before and after a 'Driving otherwise in accordance with a licence' conviction. Not done it (the mock quote) myself but keep hearing it puts up insurance A LOT! If so that might be the real killer, not the points.

Other Than in Accordance With Licence Entitlement = 3-6
Riding without 'Valid' 3rd Party Insurance = 6-8

The insurance issue is a grey area. If you have obtained insurance by deception, that isn't an issue of road law. As far as the RTA is concerned, if an insurance certificate has your name on it, and identifies the vehicle as described on the log book, then Ins Co are liable for third party losses, ergo, you are insured as far as the RTA is concerned.

Everyone on here always says to just print out a fake receipt for the restriction incase you get stopped. I would have thought that would suffice most of the time, unless you ended up in a serious crash or was caught doing stupid speeds.

[LordShaftesbu...]

Better if it's a "genuine" piece of paper and then remove the restriction afterwards ...
