I have both, unrestricted.
Is the marriage license restricted
Quote from: Phil. on May 12, 2013, 10:15:03Is the marriage license restricted Unfortunately yes. To just one wife.

Now, back on topic.Motorcyclists are all evil law breakers who should be made to drive submarines in the sky so that they can read the number plates of Jumbo Jets through their periscope.
I think that is a huge assumption Russ, whilst many bike riders may already be car drivers in Oz, I only know 3 people who hold both licences amongst my friends and colleagues.That may just have something to do with your circle of friends, Brian...These days motorcycling is more a hobby to most, so most also own cars. Obviously there are gonna be exceptions to this. I have never been interested in motor bikes, why then should it be mandatory for me to ride one in order to drive a car, ridiculous idea in my opinion.It may seem ridiculous but it would certainly give car drivers a much better understanding of how vulnerable a motorcyclist is. Would also help drivers to be much more aware of changing road conditions.Oh, and your response is pretty much the reverse of what motorcyclists say to our idiot Road SafetyCrats that believe that before you can get a motorcycle licence you must first have a car licence. Not very logical to anyone that actually rides. While I concede it may help as far as road rules go, I can't see it helping with too much else.http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/Licensing/Getting-a-licence/Getting-a-motorbike-licence.aspx
That is correct.No requirement in W.A. to hold a car licence first.You can go for whichever you want, but if you get a bike licence you're restricted to 250cc initially.
I'd suggest that most motorcycle riders are already car drivers so would already have a good understanding, well, at least the more sensible ones would.
I have never felt the need to ride a motorbike to find out how to interpret road conditions, a darker patch of tar coming towards me indicates a repair job, a wet or icy section or a potential spillage. I dont need to have ridden a bike to understand that.
Therefore in my experience 50% of accidents are caused by motorbikes and 50% by cars<
why do we not accept that there are good and bad on both sides of the spectrum and quit the senseless argument that one is better than the other and that apparently all car drivers are ignorant UNLESS they have ridden a motorbike?
Now I'm confused,I thought here in Oz we had national licensing, I've just read your link Rusty and have also read the regulations required here in WA,we do not require to have held a vehicle licence to get a moped or restricted M/cycle license here,which don't need front number plates so they can be read by a speed camera(see how I added that last bit to stay on topic )
You can go for whichever you want, but if you get a bike licence you're restricted to 250cc initially.
