min requirements

[philbo]

was speaking to a friend of mine who's just become a cop, and was tellling me some stories. And one that i debated with her about was the minimum requirements that a motorcyclists needs to wear. Turns out her and some highway copper booked a bloke for only having shorts on not pants. I told her that minimum requirements were a helmet. So to me looks like they're on a powerstreak. just wondering if anyone can add to this

the only saftey gear required on the RTA website is an approved helmet

I was pretty certain the minimum was an approved helmet and enclosed footwear, but like Rus, I couldn't find any evidence on the RTA or legislation.nsw.gov.au websites to support a minimum of anything other than a helmet.

My understanding was that Helmet was the only requirement also!

I just went through my Ls and Ps and no one would reasonably know anymore than what I've learnt over the last few months, so I can't imagine it's fair or reasonable to get charged for it.
