IT WAS a heavy price for a Jubilee Pocket woman to pay for a mistake police believed she didn't mean to make.

But Yvette Martine Laure Rousselot took it on the chin as she pleaded guilty to a string of charges in the Proserpine Magistrates Court on Monday.

On January 22, at about 4.50pm, police were patrolling Shute Harbour Rd, Jubilee Pocket, when they spotted the 51-year-old driving a motorised electric vehicle with two wheels.

The bike did not have a registration plate to allow the officers to check its status, the court was told.

Civilian lawyer and prosecutor Chris Bennett said after pulling Rousselot over, an inspection revealed specification plates which stated the bike's motor was 1000 watts, making it therefore fall under the category of a motorcycle.

Mr Bennett said when officers questioned Rousselot, she said the bike was not registered or insured.

To make matters worse, Rousselot admitted to being disqualified from driving in July 2016 until October 2017.

Officers then realised Rousselot was wearing a helmet which did not display a sticker stating it was an approved helmet.

Further inspections revealed the bike did not meet the requirements of the Australian design regulations. The motorcycle was not fitted with a horn, mud guard, mirrors, tail lights, break lights, direction indicator lights or rear reflectors.

Mr Bennett said Rousselot told officers she had ridden the bike to IGA and was making her way home. He said officers noted there was no deliberate act for committing the offence.

Duty lawyer, Cleo Rewald, said Rousselot believed she was riding a push bike and did not realise it was categorised as a motorcycle.

Magistrate Simon Young said although the charges were serious, he believed they did not contain any "sinister” elements. Rousselot was disqualified from driving for a further two years and received a total fine of $1500.
