So, ride or drive then?

[Nik]

Do you ride a trike or drive it? :D

[Grav]

That's just a daft question and well you know it you trouble maker....

[Nik]

Maybe, I've heard people say both so I thought I'd ask. :)

Personally I RIDE a trike, but some people might DRIVE theirs so ... :p

I would say it depends on teh trike, ie sit astride you ride sit in you drive, ie I ride my trike Vmax bike derived, but a mate got a goliath style thing which I would say he drives.

[Oozee]

Legal definitions:-
1) If the operator is inside OR astride the vehicle and it is operating under it's own power (ie the engine is running) then the operator is DRIVING,

2) If the operator is inside or astride the vehicle and it is moving WITHOUT the engine running then the operator is RIDING.

It's in the statute books and has been used as a technical defence point by lawyers who know their stuff.

Is that why it's called RIDERS of Bristol ?? :D

[Juke]

I dont do either now I have Gertie..........would never go back to a trike now.

I do 4 wheels in the shape of a VW fox in winter as the constant salt and dampness destroys any decent motorcycle......I'm a bit older and can afford this ....If the choice comes as I had to get a Car Licence to get on in the Job......and will use the car in winter to not make my bikes a pile of crap.I have done winters on bikes including riding on the hard shoulder for 20 miles back from work on a 400/4 in 3" of snow with all the police cars passining me just waved me on and making hand signals to stay there.....

As an aside we were pulled up by the Spanish Civil guard for a Yamaha Bulldog and VW based trike for having no headights on...The bulldog had sidelights on and still got done done.... The Trike was done as well even though it was registered as a Car in the UK ....50 euros each .. I was riding a sporty with headlights on all the time .....I had to talk to the rest of the guys even though they say no english some of the Swear words work and shut it as these Guys have guns...

I guess that means that 'under British law' we all drive motorbikes...I wonder what they do abroad?...I mean you could start driving a vehicle in Britain and be riding it when you got to France, then 'depending on the law of the countries that you pass through,' you could be riding through some and driving through others without even getting off your bike... :D John

[John Hopkins]
