Someone on here just said this to me:

At the end of the day even with the scooter fully de restricted and running sweet no one is going to bother you if you are riding sensibly

Is this true? I know whats going to happen if I get caught, as effectively I have no insurance and my licence would be invalid, but do the police really turn a blind eye to derestricted scooters?
