verblee1232 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 So a mate of mine has recently had his bike impounded by the police. It is a 600cc bike and he carries a provisional licence. He has his CBT and mod 1 with insurance declaring he is a provisional licence holder due to planning to use the bike on his mod 2 test. Obviously he wouldn't be able to ride it on the road from the impound but will this pose an issue when comes to retrieving the vehicle at all?

MikeHorton Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Whoever picks it up needs the documents stamped by the police to authorise the release, they will need to prove the person driving it away has insurance and a licence to ride said bike. Your 'mate' will have a piece of paper telling him this and the storage and release costs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy sugger Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Provisional licence and a 600cc not allowed, and you cannot get Insured to ride it on the road unless accompanied by a instructor/examiner, and wearing a hi viz tabard from the testing school pointing out you are under instruction. So, unless he suddenly acquires a full licence he can't get it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 A trailer or van would be most logical way to get it back if he doesn't have a full license Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your mate got it impounded for basically riding it illegally the police aren't going to just let him get it back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
