California
I was riding my pocket bike in a chevron parking lot, next to I5 in the Fresno area, and received a ticket for the following:
12500 (b) Out of class driver (no motorcycle license)
24002 (b) Vehicle not equipped or unsafe (off road vehicle)
16028 (a) No Proof of Insurance
14800 Unregistered Vehicle.
First of all I heard that the pocket bike popularity would soon make a law come about, but I didn't think it was a law yet. Is it?
My questions:
How do I register and insure a vehicle that has no VIN?
Can I get a ticket in a Chevron parking lot?
Do I have to get a motorcycle license to clear the violation?
In addition to the above, I have a $350.00 tow fee because the bike was confiscated. The tow fee now is more than I paid for the bike and I don't want to pick it up or pay the tow fees. Will I be liable?
One last question, can I sue the store that sold this bike to me?
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
