Oh sorry, I thought you meant motorbike.

I understand now. 

 All good, I should have said bicycle. 

 Kinda similar thing here, e-scooter hire firms are legal, but privately owned e-scooters are illegal, if you're caught on one you can get up to 4 points on your license and the e-scooter confiscated.

At 12 points on your license, you are banned from driving for 3 years. 

 All going Empire Day douchery? 

 Yeah similar here, it's just stupid. 

 the cost of compliance with the ridiculous amounts of fees and forced spending on transport for a 50cc motorcycle, and the fact that they limit electric scooters to 200W (which is almost slower than walking) and my need to run around the suburbs delivering my advertising was a very big factor in what led me to leave australia

i was able to get a pretty good hit rate, about 1% of my ads led to at least one hour of work, but the hill i had to climb to get to the point where i could absorb the cost of having transport made it impossible for me to ever expand my clientele enough to make a living out of being a call-out computer tech support guy, even in fancy suburbs around Wynnum and Bayside areas

there was no bitcoin back then and even still i had just discovered it due to Silk Road and simply there was no way for me to accumulate enough money on a welfare payment with small supplement of my tech support work... australian government does everything it can to stop economic mobility, to keep the industry lobbies showering the pollies with money 

 and yeah, maybe 200W electric would have been bearable out on the bayside where i was but absolutely impossible on the inner suburbs of brisbane with all the hills
