Hi,

I was just reading about how from 1 October 2012, the waiting time for over-25s on restricted licenses will be increased to 18 months.

How does over-25s who get restricted licenses before October 1? Will we be allowed to stay with the 6 month waiting time, or will we all blow out to 18 months?

Cheers

Law changes like that are not normally retrospective. Best get in first, eh?

Hmm, might have to do that defensive riding course and sit the full in early August :P

Maybe or maybe not. I spoke to someone in the rider licensing section at NZTA and they told me it's still undecided till Feb-Mar 2012.

So NZTA hasn't decided yet whether over-25s already holding a restricted license as at Oct 1 2012 will stay with the old 3/6month wait, or move to the new 18 month waiting period.
