| It depends on the cops who fine you here in NSW they can fine you for unregistered, uninsured, un-roadworthy , unlicensed if you dont have a license or loss of license or demerit points, as well as anything else they can think of if they are in a bad mood
Most states would be much the same & fines can go well over the $1000 mark with suspension of your license
Its just not worth it & there is the added danger a car wont see you & run over the top of you
SirHSV your brother just got lucky they must have been in a good mood & had a good laugh so they decided to give him a break |
