i was pulle dover without a permit, charged with excessive speed and wreckless endangerment, this was 3 years ago, this month, bike was not impunded, somone had to come get the bike. it was in gahanna too. ended up wiht a $300 fine and 1 year unsupervised probation.
i was wearing a helmet.
just depends i guess.. i rode for 4 years, 3 of which was with a permit and one without.
jsut go take the test its easy, get your permit, then take the riding course get your license and be done with it.
now that i have my license i never have to worry about that shit agian.. i was young and stupid to not get one in the first place.
