Passed my full. Hurrah

[disenfranchised]

After being lazy for the last 3.5 years, I've finally got round to sitting my full....and what do ya know...it was kinda easy.

I made a couple of mistakes...didn't name the instructor himself as a moving hazard at intersections....plus I wa still operating on the old roundabout rules of indicate initially right for straight ahead movements.....but not enough of a problem to fail.

Worst part was there were quite a few other tests going on in the area, and the headset seemed to be on a common band, as I was picking up instructions from the others....made it quite confusing at one point.

Next is all the fun of choosing the next bike.
I've got a reasoanbly long list of bikes I'd like to try...and will try and ride as many as I can over the next few months, as my weekends allow.

You're a bit faster than me! I spent nearly ten years on my restricted. I quite liked 250's, and never had much motivation to do the full. Eventually I wanted to move to a bigger bike, which finally made me do it.

So well done in getting it finished off.

Did the test at Westgate.
Did my restricted there as well, and both times had quite cheerful pleasent people as the testers, so it seems pretty good.

Well done! Enjoy the test riding...

so the new rule for going straight thru roundabouts is:
to indicate right, then at halfway, cancel and indicate left, then exit roundabout and cancel again?
Or not indicate at all?

since when has that been the rule? As I understand it, if you are going straight through you Don't indicate at all when entering but, indicate left as you exit. Please tell me I'm correct.

Correct.

10char.

[mattian]

Correct.

10char.

Thankyou! virtual high five ! yeeah

People that indicate right and then left when they're going straight piss me off. It causes unnecessary delay to the traffic also going straight but going in the opposite direction

[Smifffy]

Congrats!!! I count myself lucky that I got my bike licence when I did, not as lucky as my dad tho, who had some kind of scooter, that he used to ride on a car licence, and when they changed the rules about licences a way back when he rode it to the MOT office and changed his licence over to whatever the new type was at the time, and they told him that he couldn't ride his scooter home. He protested, saying that he rode it legally to the office, and now he wasn't allowed to ride it home? WTF? etc, and they just gave him his full bike licence. Old geezer another generation older than him claims to have got his car licence in exchange for 3 crayfish...

Ahhh NZ the way we were....

yep, but sooo many homos do it, I figured it must be one of the new rules.
Its certainly gay enuf to qualify.

Actually it's the old rule...they've changed it to make more sense with straight through traffic not indicating to enter the roundabout now.

Well done... might be an old thread, but I've had my "L" :facepalm: for 24 years...finally going for my restricted end of October.... :yes:
