Terminator had no motorbike licence

I'm less surprised about the fact that Arnie doesn't have a maotorbike licence valid in the US and rather more that it took not one but two motorbike accidents for anyone to notice this.

Does that mean if he does it once more that he would face the death penalty under California's three-strikes-and-your-out policy?

Much as I'm opposed to the death penalty it would create interesting legal issues, not least whether he could her his own bid for clemency and whether he'd use his previous arguments to refuse it...

...and suddenly it goes all Iolanthe.

Technically, no -- the "out" of three-strikes-and-you're-out is lifetime imprisonment without parole. It may be a stupid legal system, but it's not that stupid.

Also, if he's only facing a fine (as the article implies), I'd assume it's not felony charges, and only felonies count as strikes under said law. I suspect they also have to be separate court actions; being convicted once under three felony charges doesn't (as far as I know) count, and if he wasn't charged for the lack of license earlier....

My local MP from home was caught drunk driving 4 times before they took his licence away from him. It then transpired he'd been pulled over and driven home by police multiple times before that and it'd all been kept quiet. So sadly I'm not surprised it wasn't noticed, or it slipped through the net. One would have thought he'd get his licence sorted /last/ time he had an accident.

If he took his test in the same way he performed in Terminator 2: Rise of the Machines, I'm not surprised he failed. Being pursued by a liquid metal wrongbot is no excuse for selfish lane changing.
