My bosses son lost his licence a few months ago through no fault of his own. He has been using one of these to get between work-train station and trainstation-home.
He went to the pub the other night and was pulled over by Highway Patrol. Turns out, his model is now classed as a motorcycle and you need a motorcycle licence to ride.
You also need a 0.00% BAC to ride a motorcycle so he was don’t for riding without a licence and also being over the limit. When he gets his licence back, he will need an Interlock installed!
The cop told him that he would have been better off driving his car because then he would only have been done for unlicensed driving!
How is that not his fault?
From the sound of it, he wouldn't have been over the legal BAC level had he been in a car. And he had no idea it was classified as a motorcycle. So...
I believe the ”over the limit” is referring to the blood alcohol content, not the speed limit.
Ah, my bad, I think you're right. Still his fault for the rest, though.
How does one lose their license without fault?
He loaned his car to mate. The mate got pinged by an automated speed camera.
His mate then hid the infringement notice from him so he couldn’t delegate blame.
Damn that's fucked
Holy moly. Where was this?
