Besides speeding, records indicate Fultz did not have an endorsement on his driver license that is required to operate a motorcycle.

What's the phrase? "Never commit two crimes at the same time". I guess we need to add "...unless you're a cop, and then its all cool, bro".

I got a motorcycle permit 18 years ago, but never did the (1) driving test where you have a friend bring a car and a trooper rides with them and follows you around or (2) a motorcycle safety course. At some point they removed option 1.

It showed as an AM license (CDL also) with a restriction of licensed MC operator over 21 in sight. For the one year I actually rode a motorcycle, I hoped I could talk my way out of it. "Ah shoot where did Uncle Joe go? He didn't see you stop me?"

My last license renewal, the worker and I were friendly, and she was impressed how fast I did the hazmat test without missing any. She asked about the permit and I told her I've just never gotten around to it, but for some reason have paid $6 extra per renewal to keep it on there.

Without saying anything, she must have removed the restriction. So I now have a motorcycle license.

It's not a crime if you're above the law /s

Then you commit multiple crimes all day long.
