Changes to motorcycle licence rules, coming in October 2012

[Tricia1000]

On the 1st October this year, there will be the introduction of the new licensing rules.

Read about it at: http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/ru...t-2011-qa.html
Basically 6 months on Learners, 18 months on Restrictd, regardless of age. This can be shortened to 12 months by completing a CBTA (Compulsory Basic Training Assessment), then full licence test. However, from 1st October, you will be able to ride a larger than 250 cc bike.
Plus, the Restricted licence test is going to become a whole lot harder, and will be an hour long, as opposed to the current 20 minutes.

Get on with getting your licence now, before the changes. FIND OUT WHAT TRAINING CAN DO FOR YOU...WHILST IT IS STILL YOUR OWN IDEA!!!!!!!
I am running another slow skills workshop, for males and females, this Saturday hopefully. $50 for two hours, and the rest picked up by ACC.
You need to have a class 6 licence, and your own bike.

Also available, using the ACC subsidy, is pre-test lessons, Advanced lessons, new bike familiarisation, and any other areas that you wish to cover. If you have an idea for a course, then please let me know, and I will put one together......

Just a heads up, the current restircted test stays right up until that date, and some testing stations will stay with the current one while they train their testing officers up for the new test. (froma friend at NZTA)

Somehow I had missed that. Thanks for the link.

A small note: NZTA defines CBTA as "Competency Based Training Assessment", not "Compulsory Basic Training Assessment". At least, that's how I read it!

Thanks Chasio for pointing that out. A throw back to CBT in the UK. I must've been having a CRAFT moment.

Back to Wellington in February for another meeting.
