Motorcycle licences in QLD

[West Aussie Glen]

Sidecars, a separate licence but spiders and trikes a car licence or an endorsement on a car licence.

I'm actually not a fan of drivers being able to ride 50cc scooters as, for one, if they have an accident the stats will be added to the motorcycle statistics and make them look even worse.
Of course there's then the fact that a scooter has little in common with a car...

Re a separate licence for sidecars..
There aren't that many sidecars out there and if yet another licence is required then I suspect there will be even less!
Offering a short course on their riding & handling characteristics would probably be beneficial but do we really need yet another licence? 

That's my 2 bobs worth...

All looks legit.  Sad indeed.  I know that location well- was through there twice yesterday.  It just takes for one try-hard to go wide on a corner and there's a head-on.  Plenty of corners there on which it could happen, and no end of rocket jockeys.

What I would love to see in regards to Government intervention, instead of license changes is to allow more Bikes to be registered under the single registration, so you just have to move the rego plate to the Bike you want to ride on that particular day. I can justify owning more bikes then. Adventure Bike, Another ST, Goldwing, Sports bike, Scooter...
The Bike industry would explode from the increased demand for more bikes. Win, Win for everyone.
