Ridig with no Tax / No Registration.

Hello,
I have this friend that is getting a new bike delivered on 28th feb, but on a 08 plate so its not technically legal till 1st march. He has the day off on 29th Feb and knowing what he's like he is gonna be really tempted to ride it.

Does anyone know what the penalty would be if he is caught riding it before the 1st of march? He has it insured from 28th feb so that shoudn't be an issue, but i would like to let him know how much trouble he would be in to try and persuade him its not worth it.

He does have it insured from 28th feb - so that wouldn't be an issue.

Anyone know how these things work?

Ta Very Much.

You mean the 29th Feb, not sure about this one but it could result in losing his licence for a period and a retake of test IIRC...

Most probably wrong, but interested to find out...

I think you'll find reading the small print the bike has to be road legal for the insurance to be valid, so not being registered will invalidate it ?

Cheers Mark.

Chain it up, then give the keys to the chain to someone you trust - like Mum / Dad / Wife / etc. In fact let them chain it up. no matter how tempted, you cannot give in.

Best idea, your life, your bike, your consequences. Are you willing to risk it all?

Depends really. if it was a £30 fine for not having a number plate - then yeah i'd run the gauntlet.

However as rictus pointed out - the insurance is unlikely to be valid if its not road legal - thats a whole different kettle of fish with much more serious consequences that i wouldn't be prepaired to risk.
