I was told on my cbt that if you find yourself on a motorway, you need to pull over and call to be escorted off. If you’re lucky and it was a genuine mistake they might let you off any penalties coming your way. Most motorways have camera operators who will call you in, so better to fess up and be safely escorted off.
Can I just add. Avoid slowing down before the exit slip road. It's an easy way to get rear ended. ( The slip roads are designed to be long enough to slow down).
For any of you that use Google maps and are on a 125cc with L plates there is an option to turn of all motorways and tolls for your route so you'll never get sent to one again
left lane, hazards on, off at the very next junction, call it in when you find a layby. That's my post-event advice given by a 101 operator who told me I did exactly the right thing. Apart from the calling in thing, no need to do that unless you get pulled over in which case they're already aware. A1-A1(M) Doncaster.
I accidentally got lost, took a wrong turn, and ended up on a cross-country route with a national speed limit applied. it was terrifying as I thought I was heading into a motorway but the most important thing I learnt was to keep calm.
I nearly ended up on the motorway on my scooter. I was going to a doctors appointment and missed my turn off. I thought I'd come back round on the big roundabout with four lanes but I got stuck next to a massive lorry and panicked. I took the wrong exit off the roundabout and suddenly realised I was heading to the motorway. I stopped on the left on what looked like a double lane slip road going towards the motorway. I thought I was going to have to phone the police to escort me off because I couldn't turn round. I was lucky though because a bit further up was a road that crossed onto the other slip road going back to the roundabout, I think it was for authorised vehicles only. It had bollards across but I could easily get the scooter through. The slip road was very quiet so I had no trouble crossing over. I got back onto the roundabout and gave myself the biggest bollocking ever, never again!
In my Country it's actually legal. They can usually ride at 100km/h, so it's ok. But I tell you... I did it once on my Honda Dax 125, because I'm light I was able to go easily 62 to 73mph (bike limiter) That's 100 to 118km/h My hint... You're stressing your bike. Instead be safe in the eye sight of a trailer, they usually drive around 50, 55mph (80 to 90km/h) and follow them. Not to mention they're shielding you from frontal wind.
A car is a different beast, and i don't know if this kind of thing exists for bikes, but when i paased my car test in early 1984, my parents booked my driving instructor for a couple of hours to take me on the local motorways, bot as a passenger, but driving his car.
Been there done that. Litteraly stopped on the onramp and pushed the bike onto grass and all the way back up almost killing myself just to avoid the infraction (Not scared just can't ride em)
did the same thing on the slough J7 on the M4 when i had my 125, had my gps set to avoid motorways but it took me on it anyway, ended up stopping on the hard shoulder on the off ramp, pulling my bike onto the grass and walked it back up to the roundabout, got spotted by a police officer who was laughing away, didnt pull me over or anything so got lucky there.
Hi, My brother. I have a 2008-14, 2012 Zx-14r, 2008 Hayabusa and 2008 CBR 600rr. I love your videos!!!! Please keep making them!!!!! My 🏍️ motorcycle brother!!!!! Please make another video of you and your wife racing again!!!!!! It was so funny!!!!!!
I think that if road tax does not cover maintenance of the road. Counsil tax does. Approximately 3-5% of road tax is set aside for motorways. They rest goes whoever else govt want to pocket it. Anyway my point. I think that if learners can’t go on a motorway than they should be road tax exempt. Same argument I pull out for people who say push bikes should pay road tax. Why? They can’t go on motorways.
Back in my day, one could ride nothing bigger than a 125 on l plates. Once you had passed your bike test then however, you hop straight on a GPz 1100 😊 . (sadly.. fortunately maybe😂, I hopped on a CBX 550)
More dangerous than some fool trying to do a u turn on the slip road or reverse back to the junction would you say? In my opinion it seems pretty sensible to tell people to stay in the inside lane and leave the motorway at the next available exit..
yet they are perfectly fine to travel on dual carriageway roads with the same speed limit, same types of vehicles, only difference being they're restricted to two lanes? You're dreaming
@@agoodjoe6910 precisely! I suppose the reasoning might be that one can encounter tractors and other slow moving vehicles on a dual carriageway, so fledgling bikers and or small capacity bikes are allowed.
😂 .. yes they do say that we ride on the wrong side of the road whilst seemingly forgetting about Australia, New Zealand , Japan and other countries... ahh.. banter!
@LaLa4iZ When I was on L plates I used to ride on the motorways all the time, staying in the left hand slow lane the whole way. Never once was I stopped by the police, and the motorways are heavily patrolled/surveilled by the state. Riding on the motorway on a modern 6 gear transmission 125cc motorbike isn't as dangerous as you'd think...

why does such thing even exists?

This actually answers a question i couldn't find an answer for... common sense approach but one that needs to be stated to be convincing...

just noticed in your videos you press the indicator quite alot is this incase youve forgot to turn it off?

my god... first world countries are a PAIN IN THE A**. why would it be illegal to ride a bike in the motorway?
It's only illegal before you pass your test
@@professionaleejit5927 ohhh ok
Is that speedometer in mph or kph?
I'm trying to get a sense of what a 125 will actually do.
Depends from the bike itself. Comfortable at 55, but might reach no more than 73mph
His bike is in mph
get the zx 4rr perfect for street -rev it and fun no tickets ..wife would love it zx 125 dangerous

You are giving out dangerous information!

better tell the police, then, they give the same advice.
Take the l plates off and come off next slip rd. Then put l plates back on.
If you do not see the issue with a person with an L plate going on a highway then you shouldn't be on the road yourself
yet they are perfectly fine to travel on dual carriageway roads with the same speed limit, same types of vehicles, only difference being they're restricted to two lanes? You're dreaming
