I have done my basic Ls, and Im going by your article I should be able to get my restricted trike licence, but who ever i contact here in South Australia has no Idea what the hell Im talking about , can you help me or point me in the write direction please.
Is that what you mean? Cheers, Mark. I am about to move to Queensland have driven a trike in NSW for 10 years so moving north will be unable to ride. I have a bon trike I cant ride because I dont want to ride a 2 wheeler but I live in backwards Queensland…..
Car licence is all that should be needed. Having been a car driver for over 40 years and want to enjoy my retirement. I often wonder about the old farmers driving around on their 3 wheel steer tractors.?? I would love to get back into bikes again and a trike would be a great freedom for me and my abilities.
What about those with a disability paraplegia I an T4 complete Paralysed from nipple level down which means if I got on a bike I would fall over so would need traing wheels and be unable to change gear without triptronic or use both brakes without both levers being on the handle bars.
Allowing holders of a car driving license to ride trikes would be a reasonable move, regardless of it featuring a conventional or a reverse wheel layout, since they still provide a more car-like feeling than a 50cc scooter. Eventually, the only restriction that makes sense would be for automatic-only licenses. I would love to get a spyder but am unwilling to get a two wheeler bike licence as im not confident on a two wheeler.
I can ride one but am not going to ride one on the road. A trike to me is like a car so im hoping that the law gets changed. I would say a car licence is enough for a trike, I have a trike, Yamaha R1 superbike and a Suzuki GSF Bandit and the trike feels very much car like to me.
There is no balance to keep or leaning the machine to steer it. I ride a trike and I reckon the car license just does not cut it. There are forces on a trike rider that would throw a car driver and they need biker care to control them.
Also bike riders are maybe able to learn how vulnerable they are in a collision. Can am spyders would have to be one of the most dangerous trike on the road i bought one in a se5 awesome in a straight line but corners wow this thing will send you to the opposite side of the rd , as the std tyres try to peel of the rims.
Here in the UK, you can ride a trike on a standard car licence if you had a full car licence before a certain year. It is just a quirk but it serves us older more experienced car drivers well!
California does not have a specific restriction against lane sharing, which occurs when two motorcyclists ride side-by-side in a single lane of traffic. During stopped or slow-moving traffic in California, motorcycles are allowed to pass between cars.
This maneuver is known as lane splitting and is only legal in California. Decreased visibility is just one of the many dangers California motorcyclists face at night.
Wandering animals, drunk and impaired drivers, and improperly maintained roadways all make night riding even more dangerous for California motorcyclists.
At night, motorcyclists must adhere to the same low-beam, high-beam laws as everyone else: No high beams at all within feet of an approaching vehicle, or within feet behind one. High-beam headlights shine at an angle to illuminate the road to feet ahead, or about twice as far as low beams. Keep the group to a manageable size, ideally five to seven riders. If necessary, break the group into smaller sub-groups, separated by a few seconds, each with a lead and sweep rider.
