Drink Riding

[Bearing Man]

Don't forget if you're riding with a dongle or de-restrictor of some sort in the UK, you are now classed as riding a moped and will be done for drink driving, no insurance, tax, mot, number plate etc.

The only prosecutions I can find for derestricted bikes anywhere on Google is some hump burning around Hereford & the Met using the regulations to clear the rip off Tuk tuks out of Soho.

you can be prosecuted for riding furiously though.

'riding furiously' perfectly describes @Doomanic's style

Motorists have always been an easy target
We just pay our fines and move on

Big problems in Norway with drunken sailers. So many of them have wee boats.

What do you do with them?

Drug dealers get suspended sentences where I live even if we're talking tens of thousands of pounds worth of drugs , as do shop lifters, then they get arrested again, go back to court on some other offense and guess what happens... still no prison time, so whats the point in suspended sentences then?

Prisons too full in the UK, so unless it's a crime involving the government missing out on taxes then they probably aren't bothered.
just tell the judge some sob story, they believe anything these days it seems, (anecdotal evidence from reading my local newspaper)
