Florida MB Laws ?

[eastwoodo4]

Why don't you just go to the HSMV, try to get it registered and if/when they tell you no, then have them print that out and then carry THAT with you?

But I would talk to a Lawyer still. Also, call the Sherrif's department for your county, ask to talk to the person in charge of registering Bicycles. (Or if they say they don't, ask them who you would talk to about registering your bicycle, whether it's your local police or not.)

they would say theres no need to register bicycles.theres no prosedure for that.

I say still go and talk physically to the persons I mentioned AND go to the HSMV AND hire a lawyer.

Whatvhave finally decided to do?

Went to court today.

One ticket was for no registration on my MB.
Another for expired licence
And finally one for riding in the bike lane.

The end result was making a deal. I plead quilty to riding in the bike lane and everything else was dropped.

Not complaining at all, but isn't that wierd ?????

Good advice,wether you'll extract that statement from the DMV people is another matter alltogether though.

So you got extremely lucky!!!!!

So you have no license, they catch you in a bike lane and all they do is cite you for riding in a bike lane? Where did they expect you to ride it?
Out of curiosity, did you bring a lawyer to court? What exactly happened at the court?

Do not ride in the bike lane !

You ever see that double triangle symbol painted on the bike lanes ?
This bike lane was on state route 520. The symbol means NO motor allowed !

I had no lawyer.
So , the judge calls me up. "You have an expired license - how do you plead ?"
NO CONTEST.

" No registration , how do you plead ? "
NOT GUILTY !.

" Riding in a bike lane - how do you plead ? "
Your honor I was on a bike , well a motor bike , I am guilty ! " ( laughter )

" Do you have anything to say to the court ? "
Yes - Florida laws concerning Motorized bicycles are not clear and are confusing .
" You are correct they are a mess. In fact I know that the laws are being challenged in higher courts as we speak. You certainly have that option if you wish - ( to the prosecutor ) recommendation of the state ? "

"" 50 dollar fine for riding in the bike lane, all other charges dismissed ""
:helmet:
Puzzling logic in my eyes !!!!!
