Actually as a funny anecdote regarding ID, somebody broke into our car and stole the TomTom and several items (expensive sun glasses, etc.), OH reported it and on the way back looked into Cash Converter on a whim, same TomTom even with our address as home address, called the cops, they checked with the owner of the shop, they need to keep records, they remembered the guy well, he came back a few times until he could produce sufficient ID, he finally brought <drumroll> his probation letter...

Rest of the stuff was found in his home along with several other TomToms... I have very little criminal energy, but if I would steal something, I really wouldn't sell it about 1/2 a mile away from where I stole it, that's just a facepalm moment (not to mention the probation letter as ID)

In the UK and Germany, many people do not drive. Public transportation is much better. So many people do not even own a driver's license. The German plant I travel to on a regular basis, only 25% of the employees drive to work. Train is the biggest mode of transportation and bus the 2nd biggest. Bicycles being the 3rd and cars the smallest.

hmmm.. so if someone doesn't have a drivers license or a passport or a utility bill in their name, what do they use for ID? their library card?

Here you can get a pic ID card which is like a DL without the legal right to drive..

speaking about bikes tho, I have been looking into getting an electric bike, some electric bikes look like scooters but damn, the laws in each state are so different! and if your electric bike goes over X mph then you need a motorcycle license (drivers license is no good for those), insurance, and registration! oh, and of course the helmet too..

Some countries have ID cards with pictures, in some countries you aren't legally required to carry ID, so utility bills or bank statements usually do, in general a passport is sufficient, if you have one, otherwise you use a bank statement (with your address) and a utility bill or phone bill or anything that is addressed to you from an official place (Council, etc.)

You'd be hard pressed to find anybody in the UK without a bank account or a phone/internet connection, etc. If you are renting you usually pay for your utility bills yourself, if you own the place you have Council taxes to pay, etc.

Most places, all bikes, even those you pedal require helmets. And motorcycle license is a kind of "addendum" to your driver's license like a boat license or CDL. Further, most places will requires insurance on anything mororized.

You obtain state ID usually through DMV although you used to be able to get at county office. Ii got a passport card with my passport so I can use the card as ID. I was once asked for ID from a cop and gave him my passport card because I don't drive. The dumb ass actually gave me a hard time about it and kept asking for my DL Regardless of how many times I told him I don't drive. He kept saying, "you mean you aren't driving now." No stupid, I don't drive at all, don't own a car and I'm sitting in the back seat as you are speaking to me. The federal government issued this passport card, how fucking stupid are you to think a DL is more valid ID?

So, ID can be an issue here in the states because LEO only seem to know what the DLs look like for their state only.

helmets are a pretty standard requirement everywhere but no, not necessarily everything motorized needs insurance, registration and a special license.. here in TX you don't need that if your electric bike does not exceed 20mph when aided with the motor (you can go faster if pedaling only), that is the Federal law also and the states can't change that and in BC, Canada its if the electric bike/scooter goes over 32k/h... In TX & CA a motorcycle license requires you attending a special 2-3 day motorcycle class so that adds to the cost & time/trouble of getting that type of license.. as far as insurance goes, I have not seen anything stating it was a legal requirement unless the bike itself required registration & licensing to ride it.. I am not saying a person shouldn't have insurance but I expect a disability insurance policy would cover accidents without having to buy "special" bike insurance just to ride a bike (next it will be that pedestrians will need walking insurance).. This whole thing about buying specific insurance for every possible situation is ridiculous.. just a greedy insurance rip-off, imo..

I expect to open a bank account you need acceptable photo ID tho?..

The type of bike you are considering is still classified as a bicycle. It also will have restrictions on where you could ride it, not that it would matter to you since I doubt you are looking to take it on the highway.

A motorcycle or any of the other things that will require insurance get added to your auto insurance, just like a second vehicle would

Frankly, if someone want to get a motorcycle, they should know how to drive it safely, so a class is nothing someone should balk about. You don't handle a motorcycle like you do a car, anymorre than driving an 18 wheeler is like driving a car.

Something with pedals is not really a road vehicle. More of a lazy man's bicycle. Having said that, would I like to have one? Hell yea. I don't drive and something like that would be great for running into town to go to the drug store or grab some bread at the local deli. The center of town is a mile from me. Literally up hill both ways, lol. In each direction you go down one big hill and up another.

some are bicycles but have an electric motor, you can even get a kit that converts a regular bicycle to an electric bike.. those would be good if you wanted to ride the bus and then bike part of the way.. but there are e-bikes in BC, Canada that look like a scooter and they can go up to 32k/hr without requiring registration, etc.. actually you can unplug one wire and go faster than that but you risk getting stopped by a cop, if one sees you & clocks your speed.. I like those e-bikes and am seriously considering one of those just for when I am in Canada tho.. I wouldn't get one of those down here, too many cops would be trying to give tickets on those here, imo.. just don't need the hassle..

I don't have any problem taking a motorcycle class, at all.. before looking into electric bikes I was considering a motorcycle or gas scooter/moped even tho it would require registration, insurance, etc.. and a motorcycle class would help with a e-bike scooter too, I think, in certain aspects at least (balance, handling, traffic laws).. You aren't required to take a car/vehicle driving class to get a drivers license but taking a motorcycle class is a requirement to get a motorcycle license here, so its more involved (where classes are, class times, your schedule, etc).. A motorcycle class isn't a legal requirement for a motorcycle license in BC tho (recommended but not required, I think I would take one anyway).. I am not sure if I would do that down here or up there..

No, I wouldn't be taking a bike on the highway.. but even some gas scooters/motorcycles aren't allowed on the highways as they don't go fast enough..

It makes it a bit easier but essentially you don't, they have a list of other documents you can supply, what you do need is a steady address where you are registered on and have bills (can also be a standard rent contract or a rent book or being on the editorial roll) but the card and PIN will be sent to the address.

In the UK they changed the laws, when I moved over naturally I wanted a bank account here, oh what fun and games that was, of course I had several forms of ID, but they weren't British, so they wouldn't accept them (I was arguing "But this they are documents of the European Union!" No joy) so H made me part of his bank account as a joint holder, it was seriously weird, I was accepted on the mortgage and they took my money as a down payment but first didn't want to give me a bank account, so with the mortgage paper, then all the papers from the council and having some bills in my name, I finally got a bank account. I thought this was absolutely retarded!

The only motorcycles not allowed on the highway are dirt bikes. They aren't street legal. Anything street legal goes fast enough for the highway. Shit, years ago I was a crew chief for a motorcyle racer and the pit bike went fast enough to use on a highway, but certainly isn't strret legal.

In the states, most people get their DL in their teens and they most certainly are required to take drivers ed classes and behind the wheel. If you don't do that, you have to wait longer to take your permit test.

The thing is that you need a drivers license for the motorcycle classification, even if you get both at the same time. You can't have a motorcycle license but not a drivers license. You can have DL without motorcycle.. so when you get your DL, you take a road test with a DMV examiner in the car wit you. Not so with motorcycle.

I wouldn't mind having a vespa, but really don't want to deal with insurance and registration. A moped is just like an electric bicycle, you can pedal or motor (unless that changed). E-bike would be quite convenient for me.

that may be the situation & laws where you live but here in TX/Houston you are very restricted.. even with a registered & insured scooter/motorcycle where you can ride it depends on the speed it goes & the max speed allowed on the roads.. That is also one reason why I haven't bothered yet.. its like a puzzle to figure out which roads I could legally ride down and with what scooter/motorcycle/electric bike.. I don't particularly want cops to be bugging me & giving me expensive tickets!
