Police Say Schwarzenegger Rode Motorcycle Without Proper License
Wednesday, January 11, 2006
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was riding his motorcycle illegally over the weekend when he collided with a car in his Los Angeles neighborhood, police said Tuesday.
Los Angeles Police Lt. Paul Vernon said Schwarzenegger does not have the proper endorsement on his California driver's license to operate a motorcycle.
Vernon said police did not ticket the governor for a violation because they arrived after the accident, which left Schwarzenegger with a cut on his upper lip that required 15 stitches.
Instead, officers referred their findings to the Los Angeles city attorney's office, which will determine whether the governor should be cited for an infraction. Driving a motorcycle without the proper license can result in fines ranging from $100 to $250 or more.
City attorney spokesman Jonathan Diamond said the office had not received the LAPD report.
Earlier Tuesday, Schwarzenegger acknowledged that he never bothered to obtain a motorcycle license because he "never thought about it."
"I just never really applied for it," he told reporters during a state budget briefing. "It was just one of those things that I never really did."

Can you imagine backing out of your driveway, hearing a crunch, feeling a bump, followed by that sinking feeling of being in an auto accident. Then you go back to see the damage and who should be standing there with a bloody mouth and a young boy, and a crunched Harley...but THE TERMINATOR!! And is that John Connor with him???? Heeeeee’s back.
