Full licence without having to wait 12 months

[pigman]

Not anymore unfortunately. Got this from pro rider when I booked my CBTA-F and i got my Restricted in August.

We have been told that the CBTA certificates are now only valid for 180 days from date of issue so riders must be eligible to apply for a licence chance within that 180 daya

Can you ride a 1000cc bike on a CBTA- F certificate only (without a full licence) ?

My certificate was "out of date" when I did my changeover, the AA just rang NZTA to confirm the cert number. That was a while ago so Things may have changed but I would check with NZTA.

I have been told by a CBTA instructor that I can apply for an "exemption" The Driving Standards Advisor can grant the exemption from the 12 month waiting period.
He also said it will take time and usually is not worth it.

Has anyone here tried this?

yeah, it usually takes 11 months to process.

What exactly would be your grounds for seeking an exemption? "I had my learners back home"?

Just submitted my application for an exemption. According to the DL4 form I should hear back in 10 working days. Not holding my breathe, but worth a punt for the $25 fee.

Have you heard anything back yet?

There is a standard 12 month wait for all responses. :ROFL:

I sent in an application for exemption (or was it variation?) of licencing conditions back when i first got my learners to ask them to scratch the 70kmh limit.
The reasons i gave were that it was safer for me to ride at the same speed as the other traffic on the way to work on a busy highway regularly used by trucks and buses.
Im in Queenstown and i used tour buses going to Milford etc. and the seemingly endless roadworks vehicles in this area as examples.
I also said i have lots of unlicenced dirtbike experience from back in the UK.
I got a quick reply saying, yes you can now go 100kmh and a PS... do your restricted whenever you want!
I hadn't even asked to cut down the waiting time for my restricted.
As it turned out, i didnt do my restricted cos id just bought a brand new 250 and had no intention of upsizing any time soon.
When i did get the itch to upsize (5 or 6 years later!), i didnt fancy the wait between the restricted and the full (like the OP), and i fancied a holiday anyway, so i went to Raro.
As has been said before, a Raro licence can be got for $20 and a 60 second moped ride in front of the cop shop. You can then convert it immediately on your return for a full NZ licence by booking in and doing the full test.
Also, it is correct that the foreign licence is valid for 12 months anyway and leaving and returning to the country just for a short time e.g. another holiday resets the 12 month validity provided the foreign licence is still valid.
I know this because i was served a compliance notice for driving my car with my British licence after 12 months had passed and revalidated it by going on holiday.

PS. Before the rule followers start having a sulk about it and go crying to someone, i have full NZ bike and car licences and have done for a while now.
I never once had, or considered having, a Restricted though.

Yip, within 10 working days. They wanted some more info. Unfortunately I was overseas at the time and have only just got back and supplied it. Now with the holidays in full swing I've no idea when it might be dealt with now. I'm pleasantly surprised that I've got this far.
