Classed as not being in control of the vehicle, as is riding no handed...

comes under something like not in total control of bike, as was watching on traffic cops on beeb 1 last week, along with power sliding a bike along the A23 :cool::cool:

I believe its potentially a dangerous driving charge.A bit like speeding at three figures plus a fair bit they tend to regard it as DD almost automaically and you have to prove it wasnt.Tricky when plod gives evidence that it was.

No worries here, I cant get my bike to wheelie yet, the few times I've tried.

(Flame away...)

I guess under the right circumstances you could try claiming it was accidental? lol

You'd get away with a little one when pulling away from a stop, but if you looked like you was trying to do one, then i guess they would shaft you.
