What is the penalty for riding a motorcycle without a Class M License in Chicago, Illinois?

Question

I have a motorcycle instruction permit and Class D License. I'm also more than half way through the MSF Course. I just want to ride around my residential neighborhood, but mainly in an open and empty parking lot with my own cones set up for practice before my test in 2 days. The only problem is that I do not have anyone with a Class M License (over one year) to supervise me while I'm practicing in the parking lot. And of course I will just practice during the day time. Also, I do not have motorcycle insurance at the moment. Thanks.

Answer 1

ticket and tow

Answer 2

Just do it and if you get caught tell them that you "misinterpreted the rules"

Answer 3

Best to go at nite when the cops are asleep.

Answer 4

Best don't do it. If your caught one penalty will be higher insurance for several years.

Answer 5

Same as driving a car without a license. Depending on the officer it could be as little as a ticket and as severe as being arrested.

Answer 6

Ticket for driving without a valid drives license.

Points on your license - raising your insurance - even auto ins.

Your bike can be towed away and impounded.

VERY serious if driving without insurance - registration will be revoked (in other words - turn in your plates) & no insurance company will insure you.

ANY accident, whether your fault or the fault of a drunk driver - you are liable and can be sued.

This all for riding on public roads.

If riding in a parking lot - can be as little as telling you to get lost, to impounding your bike for riding on private property.
