Also why is it this rule is not imposed on car drivers?....they can do a lot more damage then a little bike can!

Sorry, but if 3 years of road "experience" means you are getting yourself into situations you need the acceleration it hasnt really taught you that much has it?
And I would suggest you should be taking the time while restricted to perfect NOT getting yourself into these situations.
And as for the "I wouldnt ride faster" - sorry but thats absolute crap. Well intentioned as you may be, you will ride faster if you can. If you think 80+ isnt enough then its pretty obvious you will.
Funnily enough, most other people have managed restricted so why cant you? In case you hadnt realised 80+ is plenty above the speed limit to lose your licence. But I guess you really dont value it highly enough to risk losing it so soon.
Or how would you feel if you get hit by someone whos uninsured? I doubt you would like that very much, so why should you put others at risk by doing the same? End of the day, if you ride unlicenced and uninsured then dont complain if you get hit by someone who equally isnt insured and drives off accordingly to avoid that being discovered.
