insurance on bikes when the engine is turned of?

right if u just go buy a bike up the street from u, totaly legal and u push it home and as u get to a hill u sit on it since u can control it alot better and use the brakes more easy, if a copper stops u then looks at the bike and everything is fine except u aint insured can they take the bike of u legaly? even tho the engine isnt turned on?its just happened to this guy i know?pure bollocks if u ask me!!! :rtfm:
oh they took the bike of him and he has to pay £155 to get it back

 

nope, if he had the slip on him and he was pushing it on the path slow not rolling in the road or pavement then no, but they must of had a reason they cannot take the bike from you with out a good reason

 

the reason was he wasnt insured on it, and he was riding the bike since he was rolling down a hill on it :msn1:

 

My dad sees this happen all the time... you cnt do anything these days ;\

 

a bike can be impounded if its parked on a pavement, being pushed or left on a road with no insurance. sounds like he caught a twatty copper on the day he got caught shagging his superiors wife but i reckon rolling down the road on it didnt help.

also if you push it onto your driveway with no tax it can be conviscated

unless its a locked garage its considered part of the public highway

unlucky but the laws the law... :msn1:

 

i was pushign a daytona to the lock up at work once and the police pulled me as they were at the scene of the accident and knew i wasnt the owner so we had a few words...

Officer: Is this your bike sir ?

Me: Nope

the coppa actually went into the shop to have a word with my boss to see if i was telling the truth

:w00t:

 

now imagine that was your bike and some theif was pushing it away

youd be really fucked off if the police didnt question why he were pushing it and who it belonged to? :wtf:

 

right, get the name of the copper and the area he's in if you can. That's just stupid. personally i would go and burn his house down. and i'm not one to hold a grudge.

 

right the guy was riding it before and he was puhing it alongside his mate who was going to the bus stop :w00t:

so no insurance, crush the fucker

 

yes he just told me that on msn :wtf: aparently now he says he does av insurance but it came up on the police date base that he hasnt, god knows hehe

 

if he can prove insurance then he can have his bike back as they should give him a 7 day producer and make him either leave the bike or push it home.

 

if your sitting on the bike weather its running or not, its still classed as riding a motor vehicle

to ride a motor vehicle you need a licence that intitles you to side one of that cc, tax, mot and motor insurance.

the bike will/can be taken from you and impounded, to release the bike you have to take all you documents and pay a fine and may appear in court and receve points and a further fine

:rofl:

so yeah they can take it if you sitting on it, if the judge is a cunt (if they go to court) he might get you for careless riding and something else, cant remember now, because he didnt have a helmet on

 

does no one think this is pc plod out for an easy conviction to add to his statistics though, seriously, go and get real criminals, how many murders took place when he was sorting out that incident??

for all i care the police can go to hell, we pay enough to the government in taxes and what do they do for us, Sweet FA. i want out of this shit hole of a country.

 

police are cunts i agree, i had one copper when i was younger who kept harassing me, really badly, id get searched every time he say me on the side of the road or on a street which isnt allowed! he was a right fucker, snide punches in my sides and poking me

but then i moved away and didnt see him for years! went back there a few weeks ago to do my CBT and hes the manager!!! :w00t: but he waqs being dead nice and having a gigle with me

i think they just got picked on in school and having a badge gives them the power to pick on us(members of the public)

 

the local plods round here find it ammusing to just follow me on my scooter then pull me for the most anal thing they can, last week it was dirt on my rear reflector.

the week before i think it was my numberplate light was out.

then the tax van pulls be up every time wanting to see my liscence. just leave me alone!!!!

 

just keep laffing, only reason there doing it is because there fat, old and boring and your just young having fun on your bike

you can do a citisens(spelling) on coppers i think? so if they keep harrasing you place them under arrest for harassment :rofl:

 

i think its funny tbh when they constantly try to get you for something, i had one follow me down a dis-used railway track once. all because my rear light had "smoked lenses"

didn't know they were available for the area51.

 

A bike/motor vehicle shouldn't even be parked on the road without tax, and probably insurance aswell.

I was once delivering to a ferry. The car park / ferry que were 5m accross a small public road from the link span. The customer taking it back home on the ferry was being a bit gobby while waiting (bragging out loud) and the local traffic warden overheard him. Traffic warden was wanting to block him from getting on the ferry as technically the untaxed bike would be breaking the law if pushed 5metre accross the public road. I just left them to it! :rofl:
Apparently the warden phoned the other side to check the lad wasn't gonna ride it away


Moral of the story is keep a clean bike and your mouth shut

 

i woke up one morning to find my runner had been stolen.i reported the bike missing to the police..later that day the police found my bike dumped 10 minutes walking distance from my house..so they took it to derby recovery without ringing me 1st..i had to pay £150 quid to collect my won bike..its a piss take..

then one day i went to mot my vespa but it want taxed but i was insured on it.... we all know that your insured without tax to ride it to the mot station and back.. my bike passed the mot.i pulled out of the mot station and got 30 seconds down the road.a copper steps out and says u have no tax pull in there.. i explained about the tax and shown them my fresh mot certificate that i had recieved 30 secs ago..the coppers was still going to do a road safety check on the bike..there dumb as fuck..i even blaaged not haveing a rear L plate lol....if you talk to them with a bit of respect and dont mouth off you will normally blag it..BUT THERE STILL CUNTS
