Just glad no one was seriously hurt.
His European license should cover him, my US license covered me while in Europe, I drove all over Germany, cars and bikes, I even got pulled over for a burned out headlight on a car on the Autobahn (1 of 4 bulbs was out) with no problem.
He needs to pay the fine.
Geez...the article would have you think the accident was Arnold's fault.
I think I heard someone say when he came to the uS, he had a visa which included driving motorcycle and never either realized or knew he needed a current motorcycle license. :-\
He has driven them for years, so until this mishap, he was pretty wreck free or so it seems. Not an easy task on a motorcycle when you're a high-charged action figure. :)
He needs to pay the fine.
A little premature, don't you think. From the article:
Police did not cite the governor because they arrived after the accident, Vernon said. Police referred their findings to the Los Angeles city attorney's office, which will determine whether the governor should be cited for an infraction.
JMO but not really. If he says he doesn't have one then he needs insist on being treated as everyone else and be done with it.
You should have seen him jump that hog off of that bridge in Terminator 2. He knows how to ride!!! ;>))
I heard a version that the car in a drive backed out quick or unexpectedly, he had a bit of a problem at that point, either due to lack of time to react or he just lost control for a second and boom.
Not sure how much experience he has driving a motorcycle sidecar.
The good thing is they weren't moving very fast when it occurred.
Check again. Here. Last paragraph.
I think True Lies is his best movie, rides a horse, flies a Harrier, wreaks havoc in a rest room, dances a tango with Tia Carrere, and gets a strip tease from Jamie Lee Curtis - for starters.
Of course, getting that piece of paper from some "gummint trash" makes you a better rider, or barber, or driver, or gun owner, or.......
HEAVY SARCASM.
Schwarzenegger was on the radio this morning talking about this. He was ranting about how some illegal aliens were driving the car that hit him. He was really angry about it.
---His European license should cover him---
From 1968?
That is a crock.. How many times do the police arrive before or during an accident?
More importantly how many times in your own personal knowledge do the cops cite people when the Cops arrive after an accident. Vernon is not telling the truth.
There was another story that said a motorcycle with a side car does not require a motorcycle license. They said a motorized two wheel vehicle license commonly called a motorcycle license is required for 2 wheeled vehicles. A motorcycle with a side car is a three wheeled vehicle and does not require the motorized two wheeled vehicle license to operate.
The governor was driving a three wheeled vehicle... a motorcycle with a side car.
