According to the motorcycling laws of South Africa, it is illegal to have only one wheel on the ground. But what happens if you brake hard to avoid a collision, and you end up doing a 'stoppie' (back wheel in the air) and you hit another car at that moment. Technically this does then mean you where driving illegally at the time of impact...

Section 6.5 of the Learner drivers manual: Rules of the road
"a rider shall do so in such manner that all the wheels of such motorcycle are in contact with the surface of the road at all times"
