Was just riding along with my mate, and they overtook me and went between us. Put there lights on and signaled us over. So by this time I was nervous as hell haha but Yeh they were nice cops, just gave us a RBT and a lisence check, wished us a good night and took off.

Consider that, your first "pull over son", a RBT for a 250 rider. Is that 00 in NSW for learners?
Always be nice to Mr Plod when he/she pulls ya over, some are good enough to let you off or mark your speeds down if you arn't a smartarse.
cheers

Yep, got the new RBT device thingy... were you just talk and it gets a reading. But I was sober as a judge, and always will be out on the bike.

IT is worth noting what Tape said, dont be a jerk and you MAY not get jerked, well as much as you were doing anyway.

No I took my helmet off whilst he was checking my license. I was about to hop off the bike but he said I didnt have too. The other cop made my mate hop off though.

I got breathalysed in Glen Innes earlier this week... he requested that I take my helmet off for it (it was one of those ones you talk into).

yea i always get asked to take lid off so they can check licence pic.... ussually they request i put it back on quick smart tho...
i have to get off my bike, turn it off and take the key out, open the compartment under the pillion seat etc to get to licence...so its a long tedious task...

I got pulled over about three years ago for an RBT on the way to work at 6:30am or so. He said dont bother takin your helmet off, let me talk into the gadget and had a peek at my license and glanced at me. I was on my way within a minute and a half, including taking gloves on and off.

What happenson yourL's if you commit a traffic offence? Like speeding? How long do you lose your lisence for?
