dirt bike laws
sv130:
If the op had his bike confiscated until he produced mot etc would a "club" insurance certificate enable him to get it back?
You could hopefully get the one officer in the force :police: that would see that it is a genuine trials bike and never need to be registered or mot inspected, but insurance?? Thats [-X
Just wondered if trials club insurance (I assume they need to have an msa type thing) would be sufficient to release it from the compound?

Motor Sport insurance would not cover a vehicle, it is mostly Third Party cover for the competitor. That is why insurance certificates have to be produced for all events that are run on the road.
And for a bike it would be the ACU, who have the same rules.

So,
No mot available, no registration available, no insurance certificate available. :-k
Even if he had a trailer to take it away from a police compound, I doubt they would let it go =;
Even proper trials bikes could be a cause of damage etc if they are used illegally, and a trials bike looks much the same as any other bike to an aggravated neighbour.
If the local tykes have been making a nuisance of themselves, and the o,p, gets spotted innocently :angel: pushing his trials bike on the footpath by :police: he could easily be tarred with the wrong brush..(we all know how that feels, dont we children) :-$
I think it would be a wise man that wouldn,t let himself fall into that black hole.

I wonder what the charge would be if caught pushing it on the path or road??
its strange realy as if someone that had stole a dirt bike and caught with it as you see on trafic cops etc they only get charged for the theft of the bike normaly and all of the offences listed above MOT tax that would aply to me if i was caught would be discarded.
stretchy:
what i mean by the first part of the post is would it be clased as wreckless driving or something for no mot etc lol
