[bikeqld] new regs

[Glen Fergus]

Thanks Ben, hadn't looked.  The 200W limit doesn't appear
to apply to motorised bicycles(??)

Guess we can thank our learned magistratery for many of
these.  Brain-dead responses to case law precedents.
Seems the basic idea is to complicate the whole thing to
the point where no one other than a lawyer ever bothers
to look.  (Assuming any other than L-platers with a test
to pass ever did.)

I liked 225.  After some smarty found the loophole (and
some dopey beak allowed it) truckies can no longer get
away with mounting their stupid radar detector on their
*trailer*.  The law is a complete ass.
