3/9 If I get a few moving violations from my motorcycle, will it
affect my car insurance rate? What about the reverse? Just curious.
\_ hell, getting violations on your bicycle (for which you need no
license) can affect your rate.
\_ So I have always wondered about this. What if when the cops
pull you over on your bike, you refuse to give them your
driver's license? You are not required to carry ID, are they
just going to arrest you for not being able to prove your
identity? Perhaps when you bicycle, you should carry an ID
other than a driver's license.
\_ People like Tom just carry a California ID, no big deal.
You know not everyone in the state has a driver's license.
\_ If they are pulling you over for a moving violation they
have the right to know your identity. If you can't
give them some proof that you are who you say you are they
have the right to take you in to determine you identity.
It isn't being arrested though.
\_ This is basically correct. One thing I am not sure about
is whether bicycle moving violations show up on your
driving record. Cops say that a fair amount, but cops
generally have little idea what the law is, and I haven't
been able to find any code which is explicit on the matter.
It's hard to believe that a 14-year-old who gets a ticket
for running a stop sign on his bike would start with
points on his driver's license.
I'm relatively certain that motorcycle violations would
show up, though. -tom
\_ I would argue from a practical implemntation standopint
that they would. Bicycle violations are so rare that
I think the state wouldn't bother differentiating them
from normal motorized vehicle ones in their record
keeping and processing methods. -ERic |
