A cop stopped me for going 40 mph. and informed me that 50cc unregistered and unlicensed scooters were not allowed to travel over 30 mph. Thank god he let me go, because he said that they could have taken my scooter and thrown me in jail. Not to mention the 120 jail sentence I would've had for violating probation. Of course I played dumb and told him I didn't realize the law and that scoots could be modified to go that fast.
I guess I know now that the cops around here are not ignoring the 50cc scooter population.
